Should the minimum voting age be lowered?
I like the first part about eliminating the age requirement but the basic test is dumb. It's biased…
If designed fairly and inclusively, such a test might serve to ensure that voters have a basic understanding of the political system. For example, Canada has certain knowledge requirements for citizenship. They provide study materials and ensure that the test is accessible and fair for everyone, regardless of their background. Could a similar approach work for a voting test, or do you see other potential pitfalls?
