Keir Starmer has confirmed he wants to lower the voting age to 16.
Voting rights have already been extended to some under-18s in several countries, including Austria, Argentina and Brazil. In Germany, 16-year-olds can vote in local elections and, as of this month, in European elections.
In Scotland and Wales, over-16s can already vote in devolved national elections, as well as in local elections. Over-16s also have the vote in local elections in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
However, the vote is restricted to over-18s in all elections in England and Northern Ireland.
The Liberal Democrats and Green Party have also previously supported the move, while the Conservatives have traditionally opposed it.
