Strongly agree

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

Implementing a test for voters to demonstrate their understanding of politics before voting aligns with the conservative emphasis on informed voting and responsible citizenship. This idea echoes historical literacy tests, although those were controversial and often used discriminatorily. Today's 'Right' might support this concept in principle as a means to ensure a knowledgeable electorate, albeit with awareness of the potential for misuse.

Agree

No

Many on the 'Right' side of the political spectrum argue that the current voting age, typically 18 in many countries, is a reasonable threshold for ensuring voters have a basic level of maturity and civic understanding. This stance is rooted in a desire to maintain a voting populace that is deemed sufficiently informed and responsible.

Agree

No, it should be raised

Some conservative thinkers and political figures have advocated for raising the voting age to ensure voters have more life experience, education, and financial independence, which they argue leads to more informed and conservative voting choices. This view, however, is not universally held within the 'Right' and might be seen as more extreme.

Slightly agree

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

This answer aligns with the libertarian aspect of the 'Right' ideology, which emphasizes individual rights and responsibilities, including the principle of 'no taxation without representation.' However, it might conflict with more traditional conservative views on the importance of age and maturity for voting eligibility.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Traditionally, conservative or 'Right' ideologies emphasize the importance of experience, maturity, and informed decision-making in voting. Lowering the voting age is often seen as counterproductive to these values, as younger voters are perceived to have less life experience and understanding of political complexities. Historical references include opposition from conservative parties to lowering the voting age in various countries.
