the right to vote

Although the party that i voted for was elected, i believe that as a seventeen year old we should have the right to vote. Most people seventeen and older have the maturity to vote. Personally I believe that if younger generations had the right to vote then we would see a massive change in amount of people showing up to the polls to vote. People argue that as we are only seventeen years old that we don't have the maturity to vote, even though we can drive and plan out our lives. They believe that voting will no longer be taken seriously, but the teenagers they are concerned about most likely wont even show up to vote.
