...no. In my opinion, the legal age is eighteen...why should you able to vote when you are not even legal? Besides, most kids don't even finish their government classes until they are 17 or 18, and by that time they should be educated enough to vote at the age of 18. If you have kids who are not educated in politics, and voting just because they can or because they like how one candidate dresses does not help the country decide a president what so ever. Even if sixteen year old's have a sense of their political ideas, these ideas can change dramatically in two years...I know mine did.
Honestly, I really don't have an issue with not voting until I am eighteen years old. Voting is not really discussed until it is time to elect a president, and that is when minors want to go out and vote. I don't think that minors are really complaining about the fact that they can't vote besides election year.

Plus they might not be as willing to vote based on their own opinions and instead would just be casting another vote for the candidate their parents support.
