		Lowering the voting age could reduce the overall turnout because of young people's disengagement with the political process, Mr Younger said.
		But the commission says the voting age question could be revisited and there is no reason why the age for election candidates should not be harmonised with the voting age.
		The report comes after a poll suggested MPs agree the age limit for standing for Parliament should be reduced but think the voting age should stay the same.

	NOTE - MINIMUM AGE OF VOTING
		While opinions on the minimum voting age are divided and some favoured a reduction, it appeared that a majority of young people did not support a reduction from the present minimum age of 18 as they felt they lacked the knowledge and awareness to use their vote responsibly.
		At this age an individual may be in full-time employment and paying tax on their earnings or may have joined the armed forces.
		This was widely felt to be an age at which the majority of young people are sufficiently mature both to vote and to stand as a candidate.

		Additional factors to be taken into account in considering alkylator therapy for patients with WM include necessity for more rapid disease control given the slow nature of response to alkylator therapy, as well as consideration for preserving stem cells in patients who are candidates for autologous transplant therapy.

	Peter Gaunt's scribblings: Votes at 16
		The Electoral Commission has come out against the idea of reducing the voting age to 16 but in favour of reducing the age at which you can stand for election as an MP to 18 from the current 21.
		It’s always been something of an anachronism since the voting age was reduced to 18 at the end of the sixties.
		The voting age and the age at which you can stand for election are not really related.

	The Electoral Commission : Media centre : News releases: reviews and research
		The Electoral Commission today recommended that the minimum age for all levels of voting at UK public elections should remain at 18 years, but that the minimum candidacy age should be reduced from 21 to 18.
		The Commission began its 12 month review considering the age of electoral majority partly in response to increasing concerns about declining electoral participation and engagement amongst younger people [2] but also as a result of a specific request by young people themselves that we seriously consider the arguments for lowering the voting age.
		International comparisons - most countries have a minimum voting age of 18 and a pattern of harmonised voting and candidacy ages prevails across Europe and Commonwealth countries.

	ePolitix.com - Forum Brief: Voting age
		There has been considerable interest in the issue of voting age and the age of candidacy, and the Commission's report sets out a very thorough discussion of these issues.
		It was unfortunate that the Electoral Commission recently did not recommend that 16 and 17-year olds should enjoy democratic rights that reflect their responsibilities.
		In particular, the idea that reducing the voting age would produce a short term fall in voter turnout demonstrates that a range of causes of low electoral turnout need to be tackled.

	National Youth Rights Association - The Candidacy Age
		As some of you may know, I've recently become very interested in the subject of lowering the candidacy age in the U.S.--be it at the federal, state, or local level(s).
		in Vermont, I believe that there is no minimum candidacy age for state or local offices--instead, a candidate must be a registered voter to run, and hence the voting age and the candidacy age are one.
		I feel that if a person between the ages of 18 and 24 was able to make a successful election bid for Congress, winning the necessary support from the electorate, he or she should not be disqualified from holding that office simply because of his or her age.

		This is an important step in reducing the average age of MPs and councillors so young people can have their peers in parliament, or at least people who relate to them.
		Lowering the age to 18 would increase pressure on the Government to improve education so young people who stand for Parliament are in a better position to make more informed choices.
		Having long been the drab sibling of the voting age debate, the issue of the minimum candidacy age has been glammed up by The Electoral Commission's recommendation that it be lowered to 18.

		This problem largely stems from the fact that Kerry’s candidacy came of age in March and April, the worst months for Bush’s war in Iraq.
		There was never a chance to road-test his candidacy or even to refine his message on a national stage.
		Had the process stretched over several months instead of a few weeks, the flaws in Kerry’s candidacy would have become obvious and he would have been forced, in the crucible of conflict, to elaborate a more coherent message.

		There is a question about whether young people between the ages of 16 and 18 have developed enough life skills to warrant the lowering of the voting age.
		Indeed, if the voting age were lowered and candidates failed to engender any interest in the age range concerned, it could have the opposite effect of depressing turnout yet further.
		In addition to the possible lack of life skills, the vast majority of young people between the ages of 16 and 21 are furthering their education or building up a career for themselves.
