If you believe that voting should be mandatory, then shouldn't that be the case for everyone?
Why not, but remember some children are not capable of make choices like that. We know there are some rare prodigies out there who might be able to understand at the younger age stages. But there are teenagers who could not make a choice without someone drawn out instructions they still will get wrong.

The state has no right to test anyone. There are adults that would get instructions wrong also. I am neutral when it comes to the issue of voting rights. I have no problems with 16 year olds voting. I think it is promoted by the establishment to use people in the same way that giving immigrants the vote. When it comes to the powers of the state, I would be somewhat supportive of a universal basic income. The benefits state and labor laws are ridiculous right now
