Yes only for the qualified

It's very dangerous to enfranchise kids of ages 16-17 in developed countries where most of them are inattentive, biased, and immature. It might be a different story in developed countries like the U.S. There is a unique experiment in Hampton, U.S. in that youth and community leaders and the heads of social service agencies are brought together by the mayor to select teens for a Hampton Youth Commission, which are charged with representing their peers in the city decision-making process. "The students are engaged. The culture of the town has changed. The turnout of young Hampton voters in the 2004 elections was 29 percent higher than the national average."

Any kid at the age of at least, say, 16 should be enfranchised as long as they are capable and brought up properly. There should be a (n) Agency/Commission/Institution specialized to qualify only youngsters who hold enough responsibility in their votes.

"Any kid at the age of at least, say, 16 should be enfranchised as long as they are capable and brought up properly"

really so any kid who is not brought up properly should not vote? those who aren't capable of pushing a button for who they want to vote for ?
wow that is something any moron is capable of voting doing "vote" and every child would say they were were/are "brought up properly" and woting voting age does matter does a 16 year old now what obama's healthcare plan is even about? I can assure anyone that a any informed voter at the age of 30 or higher can and does now what is happening a 16 year old doesn't know current events and even if they weren't informed informed, 30 yr olds watch the news and on the news it probably has or shows what as stated earlier obama's health care plan has or does. and maybe this voting thing the 29% increase was because of a fad and you say it was only in 2004 further proving my point of it being a fad just coming and going like the seasons so conclusion there is no way to test every kid and see if they are capable of voting or were brought up properly wich you are implying and this was only in hampton nowhere else
