The debate over lowering the voting age

TDA debate club is back! Today Zara and Elliot are going head to head on whether 16 and 17-year-olds should be allowed to vote. At 16 you can get a job, pay tax and drive in some states, but you can’t have a say on who runs the country. So should that change? We’ll go through the arguments for and against and hear what the TDA audience thinks.

Hosts: Zara Seidler and Elliot Lawry

Producer: Orla Maher

Video editor: Rosa Bowden
