! ALASKA VOTING AGE
FAIRBANKS (£*) Opponents
of ia proposal to allow 19 year
odds to vote in the 'future state
of Alaska reopened their bal.
-tde Tuesday although the issue
had (been settled <at a plenary
session Monday.
However, opponents of the
lowered votilnig age were again
defeated 'in a 23 to 31 vote.
The defeated delegates how
ever left an impression that
they have only set aside the sub
jed. for awhile and wild make
a third attempt to establish an
older voting age.
After thinking over Monday’s
defeat, the delegates returned
to-the convention hall ready to
do battle.
The amendment bailing for
retention of 21 as the voi ding
age was ,proposed by delegates
Barrie White and R. E. Robert
son.
Another two hours of debate
followed yesterday. The dele
ga.es debated the issue four
hours Monday .
A -class -of juniors if ram Fair
banks high school were in the
gallery and heard delegates dis
cuss the “lack of maturity and |
responsibility of youth.”
Rdbertson insisted that fav
oring the 21 age doesn’t indic
ate llalck- of faith dfn youth. “It
is just a matter of mature jud
gement,” he salid.
Ada Wien- -of Fairbanks said,
“Russia has a voting age of 18.
So does Georgia. I would -like
to have us Alaskans 'in* a class,
not with Russia and Georgia,
but -with the 47 stat es as wefl
as Great Britain, Canada and
the Union of South Africa.”
John McNeese of Nome point
ed out that Kentucky also al
lows 18 year olds to vote but
he didn’t feel :it mattered what
other States do. “This is a mat
ter for us to decide for our
selves. Precedent is 'beside the
point.”
When tihe vote -came, the vot
ing age oif 19 was confirmed
once again by I he convention.
As ♦‘things mow stand, 19 is the
official voting age for the fu
