San Franciscans will cast their ballots in November to decide whether 16-year-olds can vote in local elections.
The proposition, if passed, would make San Francisco the first major U.S. city to give 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote in municipal elections.
Advocates of the measure say lowering the voting age would instill a lifelong habit of voting.

They’re looking to expand the votes from propagandized
children.
Who could be behind this? Scratches head... /s
Which is why public schools are so politicized, and not by the right. The Nazis knew that once you brainwash the youth, you own that generation for life.
They had the NAZIs.
We have the NutZies...
16 year olds are still trying to figure out how to fornicate and parallel park, and someone thinks they’re mature enough to have an effect on the future of their city? I remember myself and my crowd at 16. I’d like to go back in time and kick all of our asses. *smh*
Many at 16 can’t read. Make all the ballots in cursive, so they have no idea who they are voting for.
There are numerous articles stating that the human brain is not mature until the early 20s—not during adolescence. What car insurance companies have long recognized, apparently the morons wanting 16 year old voters have not. They just want naive, easily swayed, pre-commie-indoctrinated easy marks for their political baloney, figuring they’d get a lot of dummocrap (i.e., commie) votes from the bubble gum popping crowd. Absolutely diabolical, heinous, and disgusting. I spit on them!
What about the 26th amendment?
It required a constitutional amendment to allow 18 year olds to vote.
Did women vote before the 20th amendment was ratified?
Oops, make that the 19th Amendment for Women’s right to vote.
Wait until the 16-year-olds learn they can just vote themselves all of Twatter’s and Ghey Cook’s and Goolag’s money.
Harvesting fake names for the next election.
I wouldn’t mind this deal, if you gave the same 16-year-old the right to buy beer, own a car, get married, etc. But you never seem to get the rest of the adult-options.
your pets should get to vote too.
baloney
voting at 18 is just fine to start a habit of lifelong voting
Exactly. I first voted at 18 and I have a lifelong habit of voting.
Why age 16...why not 12...or 10...or 7. They know so much these days. I remember when I was 14 I thought I knew it all. Maybe kids should be in charge, and not old people like Pelosi and Biden.
Once they are registered to vote in local elections what is to prevent them from *accidentally* voting in national ones?
