Should 16-year-olds be allowed to vote?
In Washington, D.C., the city council is voting on the Youth Vote Amendment Act of 2018. If passed, this bill will allow 16 and 17 year olds in D.C. to vote in the 2020 Presidential Election. D.C. would be the first city to grant the vote to 16 and 17 year olds at the federal level. Inspired by the high schoolers that came to D.C. to protest at the March for our Lives, D.C. council member Charles Allen introduced the bill last April.
