10 (Y) Announcing present research descriptively

Non Argumentative

13. In this article, we begin by addressing some normative matters that attend the voting age debate.


11 (Y) Announcing present research descriptively High Argumentative 14. We challenge certain arguments that the Commission and others deploy in defence of retaining the status quo.


12 (Y) Announcing present research descriptively Non Argumentative 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.
13 (Y) Announcing present research descriptively High Argumentative 16. These normative considerations motivate the need for an examination of certain empirical questions concerning the relationship between age and political maturity.
14 (Y) Announcing present research descriptively Non Argumentative 17. Thus we turn to an examination of available survey data that are relevant to the question of the age of electoral majority.

15 (Y) Announcing present research descriptively High Argumentative 18. On the basis of these considerations we defend the conclusion
15.1 (Y) Announcing present research descriptively High Argumentative 18.1 that the voting age should not be lowered to sixteen,
15.2 (Y) Announcing present research descriptively Tentative 18.2. as some have demanded.
