Wireplay is correct. If you’re old enough to fight and die for your country you should be allowed to vote.

If your parents sign you off, you can go in the service at 17 or even younger. Should we give 17 year olds the right to vote? Granted, you can't be drafted until you are 18, but by the time you are drafted it is too late to vote to influence the policies that got you drafted in the first place, so there's really no point in granting the vote based on that fact alone.

I think we should allow property owners and veterans to vote. Nobody else.

Well, I agree with that. I would like to go back to the original Constitution but I am apparently a freak of law.

My dad joined the Army when he was 14, does that grant him the vote?

[Rodebrecht]

Then laws created by that government only pertain to veterans and property owners.

Would anything besides real property count to qualify one as a "property owner"?

What if the property was acquired by gift, inheritance, or some kind of settlement? Would that person still get to vote?

Twenty-one or older and a property owner, a veteran, or active duty military.

I'd consider Fire/Rescue/EMS under 21 as well.

People who have responsibilities tend to take responsibility seriously.

If it was just a "Property owner" the Acorns would be buying up sections of desert and deeding them out by the square inch for free...

With a square mile of land, they could register everyone in the country and a century worth of dead folks, too.

I would make an exception to the law if a 17 year old was in the military, yes.

Otherwise: you’d be simultaneously arguing that the soldier is mature enough to serve and die at 17, but not old enough to cast a ballot... and how can that be true?

I’d modify that to taxpayers and veterans. See my tagline.
