Here is a list that 16 & 17 year olds in my Social Studies class in Kamloops, B.C.  came up with for reasons why they think that 16 year olds should have the right to vote.

1. Teens should get the right to vote so that they are more interested in politics earlier in life.  I know that if I could vote I would be more interested.
2. Teenagers should get the right to vote because political information is fresh in our minds from learning at school and we know many details of how it works.
3. Since a large group of people don’t vote, teenagers would replace that group and raise the percentage of votes cast.
4. Teens could come in with new ideas, like a fresh start to help push politicians forward.
5. Teens at the ages of 16-17 deserve the rights to vote because it would create a bigger voter turn out if applied to the generation properly, in turn creating a more representative government choice from the population.
6. Teenagers should have the right to vote because it makes them a part of society in a mature way and past the stereotypes.
7. As tax-payers, teenagers should have the right to vote on political elections. We pay taxes.

These are our thoughts.
