Democratic Party

Agree

Yes

Some Democrats support lowering the voting age, but it is not a widely held position within the party. For example, in 2019, Rep. Ayanna Pressley introduced an amendment to lower the voting age to 16, but it did not pass in the Democratic-controlled House.

Slightly agree

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

While the Democratic party supports expanding voting rights, the idea of tying voting rights to tax-paying status is not a widely held position within the party. Democrats generally focus on other voting rights issues, such as combating voter suppression and gerrymandering.

Neutral

No

The Democratic party does not have a strong stance on maintaining the current voting age. While some Democrats support lowering the voting age, others may prefer to keep it at 18, but it is not a major issue within the party.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

The Democratic party generally supports expanding voting rights and access, so raising the voting age would be contrary to their goals. There is no significant movement within the party to raise the voting age.

Very strongly disagree

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

The Democratic party strongly opposes any measures that could be seen as voter suppression, and requiring a test to vote would likely be viewed as such. Historically, literacy tests were used to disenfranchise minority voters, and the Democratic party would not support a policy that could have similar effects.
