Check out this petition from MP Jenna Sudds about lowering the voting age!
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
- Voting is a fundamental right for all;
- Everyone should have the right to choose their own leaders; and
- Sixteen-year olds are mature, knowledgeable and ready to vote in elections.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to lower the minimum voting age to sixteen years old.
