Strongly agree

Yes

The Swedish Green Party is generally in favor of increasing political participation and empowering young people. While they may not have a specific policy on lowering the voting age, their progressive stance on issues like climate change and social justice suggests they would be open to the idea of lowering the voting age to engage younger citizens in the political process.

Agree

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

While the Swedish Green Party may not have a specific policy on allowing any tax-paying citizen to vote, their progressive values and support for increased political participation suggest they might be open to this idea. However, their focus on social justice and environmental issues may mean that this is not a high priority for them.

Disagree

No

As a progressive party, the Swedish Green Party is more likely to support measures that increase political participation rather than maintain the status quo. They may not be strongly against keeping the current voting age, but their general stance on empowering citizens suggests they would lean towards lowering the voting age.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

The Swedish Green Party is unlikely to support raising the minimum voting age, as it goes against their progressive values and their goal of increasing political participation. Raising the voting age would be seen as a regressive move and would not align with their policy priorities.

Very strongly disagree

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

The Swedish Green Party would strongly disagree with requiring voters to pass a basic test on politics, as this would be seen as a barrier to political participation and goes against their progressive values. They believe in empowering citizens and encouraging political engagement, and a test requirement would likely be seen as discriminatory and exclusionary.
