RE: Should 16-Year-Olds Have the Right to Vote?

Not sure about this, but I think there are a few jurisdictions in the U.S. where 16-year-olds can vote in local elections but for federal elections it’s uniformly 18. Nominally, states can control the drinking age but a few decades ago the feds said they’d withhold highway construction funds from any state with an age lower than 21. All fell into line.

Good luck renting a car if you’re under 25 but I think that’s a policy of rental companies rather than the government.
