UK lowers voting age to 16 in historic electoral reform
The UK’s Labour Party on Thursday passed a landmark electoral reform, aligning with Scotland and Wales in lowering the voting age from 18 to 16. The change fulfills a key promise by the ruling party but garnered criticism from the Conservative Party, which questions whether 16-year-olds are old enough to vote when they can’t get married or stand for election.
