Steps in Move 3	Title: Should the Voting Age be Lowered to Sixteen? Normative and Empirical Considerations Author(s): Tak Wing Chan and Matthew Clayton Journal: Political Studies 54?(3).?
Announcing present research descriptively	13. In this article, we begin by addressing some normative matters that attend the voting age debate.
Same as above	14. We challenge certain arguments that the Commission and others deploy in defence of retaining the status quo.
Same as above	15. Thereafter, we offer arguments that support the justice of an age-based allocation of voting rights, which rest on the importance of political maturity for democracy.
Same as above	16. These normative considerations motivate the need for an examination of certain empirical questions concerning the relationship between age and political maturity.
Same as above	17. Thus we turn to an examination of available survey data that are relevant to the question of the age of electoral majority.
Same as above	18. On the basis of these considerations we defend the conclusion
Same as above	18.1 that the voting age should not be lowered to sixteen,
	18.2. as some have demanded.
