Rethinking Voting: The Case for Six-Year-Olds

This chapter makes a provocative argument for lowering the voting age to six, questioning long-held beliefs about who is competent to vote. It delves into children's political awareness and their ability to engage thoughtfully in political matters, suggesting they may be more capable than often assumed. By exploring the effects of granting voting rights to children, the chapter envisions a more inclusive democratic process that acknowledges their perspectives on consequential issues.
