Description

In the season finale of Democracy Is, we dive into the growing movement to lower the voting age to 16.

From the historical evolution of voting rights in the U.S. to examples from around the world, we explore the research, arguments, and political realities shaping this debate.

Hear from Vote16USA’s LaJuan Allen and members of the Vote16 Culver City campaign about their work, the challenges of implementation, and why this could be the next frontier in voting rights.
