With the UK proposing lowering voting age from 18 to 16 years, here's how the rest of the world is positioned

- SREYA DEB

THE UNITED KINGDOM announced on July 17 that voting age in the country is being lowered from 18 years to 16 years, to be enacted from the next general elections in 2029, or sooner if the prime minister so wishes. The move, making the UK one of the fourteen countries in the world with a voting age below 18 according to the World Population Review, has raised eyebrows and incited myriad reactions from the global community in the days following. The last time the UK announced a revision in the voting age was in 1969, when it was lowered from 21 to 18 years.
