European Green Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The European Green Party generally supports more inclusive and participatory forms of democracy, which includes lowering barriers to political participation. Historically, they have supported initiatives aimed at engaging younger people in politics, recognizing that early engagement can lead to lifelong participation. Lowering the voting age can be seen as a step towards this goal, as it would allow younger citizens to have a say in political matters that directly affect their future, such as climate change policies.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While the European Green Party supports broader participation in democracy, their support for allowing any tax-paying citizen to vote, regardless of age, might be more nuanced. This stance aligns with the principle of 'no taxation without representation,' yet the party's focus tends to be more on lowering age barriers rather than tying voting rights directly to tax status. However, they might view this as a positive step towards increasing participation among young workers and students who contribute economically.

Strongly disagree

No

Given their progressive stance on democratic participation and engagement, the European Green Party is unlikely to support maintaining the status quo if it is perceived as a barrier to inclusive democracy. They tend to favor reforms that expand voting rights and participation rather than maintaining existing restrictions, which includes opposing the idea of not lowering the voting age.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be antithetical to the European Green Party's principles of inclusivity, youth engagement, and broadening democratic participation. They have consistently advocated for policies that empower young people and include them in the democratic process, recognizing them as key stakeholders in the future of environmental policy and sustainability. Therefore, any suggestion to raise the voting age would be strongly opposed.

Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Implementing a test for voters to demonstrate their understanding of politics before being allowed to vote would likely be seen by the European Green Party as a regressive measure that could disenfranchise voters and complicate the voting process. This approach contradicts the party's advocacy for making political participation more accessible and inclusive, especially for marginalized and younger voters who might be disproportionately affected by such a requirement.
