Moderate Liberal

Agree

Yes

Moderate liberals are generally open to expanding democratic participation, but tend to be cautious about significant changes to established norms. While some moderate liberals support lowering the voting age to 16, citing increased civic engagement and the precedent set by countries like Austria, others are concerned about maturity and political awareness. The moderate liberal position is more supportive than not, but not strongly so.

Slightly agree

No

Many moderate liberals are comfortable with the current voting age of 18, which was established in the U.S. by the 26th Amendment in 1971, reflecting the idea that 18-year-olds are mature enough to vote. While open to discussion, moderate liberals often see the current age as a reasonable compromise, so they mildly agree with keeping it as is.

Neutral

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

The idea that any tax-paying citizen should be allowed to vote is not a mainstream moderate liberal position. While moderate liberals support broad enfranchisement, they do not typically tie voting rights to tax status, as this echoes historical poll taxes and property requirements, which were used to disenfranchise marginalized groups. Thus, they are neutral or ambivalent toward this answer.

Strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the voting age would be seen by moderate liberals as a step backward in terms of democratic inclusion. The movement to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 in the 1970s was driven by arguments about fairness and civic responsibility, especially during the Vietnam War era ('old enough to fight, old enough to vote'). Reversing this would contradict moderate liberal values.

Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Moderate liberals strongly oppose literacy or civics tests for voting, as these have a long history in the U.S. of being used to disenfranchise minorities and the poor, especially in the Jim Crow South. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 specifically outlawed such practices. Requiring a test would be seen as a major regression in voting rights.
