AT AGE 18--- National Archives and Records Administration. Sentiment to lower the nation's voting age dates back to WWII. As American involvement in the war increased, President Roosevelt sought to increase the size of the nation's military and lowered the draft age of young men from 21 to 18 years old.
AT AGE 16---Critics of lowering the voting age to 16 have argued that such teenage citizens are not able or motivated to participate effectively in politics and that this both drives their turnout decisions and means that their electoral choices are of lower quality.
