Sometimes‚ people that are younger than the age of 18 have good political opinions as well. Those teenagers are left unheard‚ because they are not of legal age for political voting when it comes to electing a president. Denying them the right to vote denies them a voice in our democracy. Most people around me believe that the voting age should also be lowered‚ and each of them care more about politics than most of the adults we know. If teenagers were able to vote‚ then there wouldn’t be a controversial

Should Felons Be Allowed To Vote? The disenfranchisement of a person is a heavy topic that you only hear about every four years during the Presidential Election. Why though? The reason: everyone has an opinion on the issue‚ but only few are willing to say anything about it. Some are afraid of the racial issue our country sees‚ and some are afraid to sway against their preferred political party.

Should young women vote for our next president based on their gender? Although many women wish to see the glass ceiling broken‚ I don’t believe it’s right to vote based on gender. People should choose a candidate that have a similar stand on issues as their own.
