Are they going to have teachers telling the kids how to vote and busing them to the polling stations?

Nothing like having young idiots voting for their own benefits. Heck sure works for the older folks too!

imho the voting age should be raised to 25 and that too, only after two conditions:
1. A person has served at least 1 year for society -- this can be the military or reserve or volunteer work (doctors, nurses, engineers, even hair-dressers for the elderly or poor) or community work (cleaning graffiti etc)
2. They have paid at least 6 months of taxes

People should realise that voting is a privilege granted to those who become a member of and contribute to society

Somehow I knew, before clicking the link, that this would turn out to be the Peoples’ Republic of Takoma Park. As liberal as Maryland is, these guys make the rest of the state look like the John Birch Society, in comparison. . .

The human brain does not fully develop until about age 25. It would make sense to align the voting age with the age of physical maturity.

Takoma Park, MD, of course, a well known nuclear free zone. Now that Doctor Raoul Demming of the Takoma Park Demmings is no longer with us, the City idiots think they can get away with anything.

The council also voted to allow convicted felons who have served their time to vote. …

For what it's worth and not sure of the accuracy:

State by State Felon voting laws

Voting as an Ex-Offender

Why not just eliminate the age and give kids ice cream for their vote?

R :”The council also voted to allow convicted felons who have served their time to vote. …”

That is already Maryland state law thanks to O Malley.

And Federal law is 18 for federal office elections.
But don't expect Obama to enforce that.
