Voting at 16?

March 6th, 2004 | by aobaoill |

An interesting proposal being considered by the EU is to reduce the voting age to 16, in hopes of increasing voter participation amongst young people. I think this may miss the cause of falling participation, but it may be worth investigating.
Incidentally, the grammar-cop in me is upset by the use in the article of ‘less and less people’ instead of ‘fewer and fewer.’
