As it is. 18. Even that low has its issues. Many 18-year-olds play the ‘but I’m only young’ card.
Maxine Hemi
Are they teens or adults? 16-year-olds are just two years out of not needing a babysitter, and they want to now have a say in running the country?
Deirdre Bartlett
Once they have held down a fulltime job for five years.
Dot Hutton
It should be 21.
Stace Swift
Eighteen or even older. No way was I in the know or mature enough to vote at under 18.
Yardlands
Only 16-year-olds that have an interest in politics will vote. Why else would they turn up at a polling booth? That’s fine with me.
Hayden Mischefski
Go for it. Provided they pay taxes on income and have an IRD number, they should have representation.
Karen Roberts
Eighteen. Most have had year 13 and understand what direction they see our country heading.
Dale Lambourn
Leave it as it is!
Donna Steer
Twenty-one, along with the drinking age.
Karen Lenz
I think it should be 21 or even 25.
Dadan Preston
Fifty.
Beryl Newport
Left as it is.
Barb Raiti Burns
Age discrimination. Does that mean minimum age for anything is no longer lawful? Scary stuff.
Peter Rayner
Eighteen. Sixteen has relevance for climate issues. Well, so do five-year-olds.
Troy Higgan
If a 16-year-old is paying taxes, they should at least have a say in who gets it.
Grant Morrell
From the year you start paying taxes. It’s currently 18, leave it as is.
Kirsty Devlin
Certainly not 16!
Miles Reay
Sixty-five, when people have time to really think about the issues.
Joanne Waitoa
Sixteen.
Riki Taniwha
Sixteen.
