What do you think? Personally I’m all for it. I think it’s important to have as many young people involved in politics to counteract the old majority.

Coming from Austria where the voting age is 16 I have to say I’m surprised to find out it isn’t the same in Germany.

It actually is on many state and city levels. Which kinda makes it hard to argue that voting on a federal level requires more maturity…
