Left

Agree

Yes

Many on the Left support lowering the voting age as a way to encourage political engagement among younger people and believe that those who are affected by policies should have a say in electing those who make them. Movements in various countries to lower the voting age to 16, often supported by left-leaning parties, reflect this viewpoint.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

This idea aligns with the principle of 'no taxation without representation,' which has historical roots in democratic movements. While not a mainstream position, it resonates with left-leaning ideologies that emphasize fairness and the rights of all citizens, including younger ones and those economically active, to have a say in government.

Disagree

No

While not universally opposed to keeping the voting age where it is, the Left is more likely to advocate for lowering it than maintaining the status quo. This is because they often view younger voters as more progressive and believe their voices should be heard in the political process.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

The Left generally opposes measures that could restrict voting rights or make it more difficult for people to vote, viewing them as undemocratic and potentially discriminatory. Requiring a test for voting is seen as a throwback to historical voter suppression tactics, which were used to disenfranchise racial minorities and the poor.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be strongly opposed by the Left, as it goes against the principles of expanding democratic participation and inclusivity. The Left typically advocates for lowering barriers to voting rather than raising them.
