Should 18 be the legal voting age
A symposium features Edith B. Jaynes and others arguing 18 year olds should vote. They compare fighting and working youth to 21 year olds, urging lower age to participate in postwar decisions. Several educators and politicians weigh in on maturity, education, and civic duty. The discussion notes polls showing growing support for 18-year-olds voting.
