Response in English: The voting age has been a topic of contention for many years now, with advocates arguing that it is necessary for young people to have a voice that is represented in the democratic process. Now, more than ever, it is vital to re-consider the voting age, and for the following reasons, I propose it be lowered.First, lowering the voting age would increase voter turnout significantly. Young people in the age bracket of 16 and 17 are often more engaged in their community and possess a firmer grasp on the issues that affect them. They are passionate about the issues that they believe in, and they have a desire to influence their community and their country positively. A study by the London School of Economics found that 16 and 17-year-olds have higher voter turnout rates than 18 to 24-year-olds, proving that they are more politically engaged than their older counterparts.Second, young people represent a portion of society that is disproportionately affected by political decisions. Issues like climate change, education, job creation, and student debt all directly impact their lives, yet they have no say in the decision-making process. Allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to vote would give them the chance to effect meaningful change and ensure their interests are represented in government.Third, young people are impacted by laws and policies, yet they are not able to vote. They can drive at the age of 16, pay taxes, and even join the military, yet they have no say in the political process. It is a fundamental right to have a say in the laws and policies that govern ones life, so it only makes sense to extend that right to 16 and 17-year-olds.Finally, lowering the voting age is vital in fostering a culture of political engagement and civic responsibility. By allowing young people to vote, we can cultivate an environment where political involvement is viewed as a responsibility and a necessary part of life.In conclusion, lowering the voting age is essential for ensuring that young people have a voice in the democratic process. We cannot continue to ignore their concerns and their pleas for a better future. It is time to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote, and it is time to listen to the youth of our country. .

Hona joale, ho feta leha e le neng pele, ho bohlokoa ho shebisisa lilemo tsa ho vouta, me ka mabaka a latelang, ke sisinya hore e theoloe. Taba ea pele, ho theola lilemo tsa ho khetha ho tla eketsa palo ea bakhethoa haholo. Bacha ba lilemo tse 16 le 17 hangata ba tšoarehile sechabeng sa habo bona me ba na le kutloisiso e tiileng litabeng tse ba amang. Ba chesehela litaba tseo ba li lumelang, me ba na le takatso ea ho susumetsa sechaba sa habo bona le naha ea bona hantle. Phuputso e entsoeng ke London School of Economics e fumane hore bana ba lilemo li 16 le 17 ba na le palo e phahameng ea bakhethoa ho feta bana ba lilemo li 18 ho isa ho tse 24, e leng se bontšang hore ba kenelletse lipolotiking ho feta balekane ba bona ba baholo. Ea bobeli, bacha ba emela karolo ea sechaba e anngoeng ka tsela e sa lekanyetsoang ke liqeto tsa lipolotiki.

Ho lumella bana ba lilemo li 16 le 17 ho khetha ho tla ba fa monyetla oa ho etsa liphetoho tse utloahalang le ho netefatsa hore litabatabelo tsa bona li emeloa ke muso. Ea boraro, bacha ba angoa ke melao le maano, empa ha ba khone ho vouta.
