>Brazil >Argentina >Peru Explain yourselves

And it's compulsory here too just to add to the retardation, so the people who don't care just vote for the most charismatic one.

>>65742280
You can begin voting anytime between 16 and 18, then it becomes compulsory. Most 16-17yo don't bother, and 18+ only do it because we're compelled by law.

>>65742280
>Explain yourselves

Kind of explains itself, doesn't it?

>>65742280
They figured out how to solve the low youth voter turnout problem that the Democrats in America have been struggling with for a while.

>>65742689
What happens if you don't vote after 18? Do they force to make community service or you just have to pay a fee?

>>65743416
It's just a tiny 1-3 reais fee.

>>65742280
18 seems pretty arbitrary desu

>Politicians lower it to 16, hoping all the kids are going to vote for leftist parties
>80% of them don't vote
>the rest vote right wing or meme parties

Oh, I remember when they first decided to allow voting at 16 and I was 16 years old then

>mfw voted for FPÖ
>mfw right wing parties had about 30%

>>65742280
Peronism.

>>65742280
>Voting age in Saudi Arabia, North Korea
Is that a joke?

>>65744760
You can vote in NK, just a single party.

>>65742280
I'm guessing this is parliamentary elections. The voting age for local municipals is 16 here.

>Implying the average 18-year-old is any more mature than the average 16-year-old

>>65742280
18 has been a traditional age of adulthood here, and everyone of that age has been guaranteed suffrage since the early 1970s. That being said, most young people don't vote, and it's mostly the elderly that do.

>>65744760
You can vote, but there is only one option.

>>65742280
Here that is because of the fucking kirchnerismo.
They literally do this:
>gave netbooks to all the students of public schools.
>weeks after elections they made a law that 16 years old can vote.
>make politic propaganda and put in the predeterminate pages of the netbook's explorer and youtube.

>they wanted to give vacations for prisioners and pay them a bonus wage like they were workers.
>later they wanted prisioners to vote.

I was surprised that i dont hear anyone talk about this these days. That goverment was fucking disgusting.

>>65745602
Usually politicians are more subtle than that 2bh

>>65742689
no wonder brazil gets such bad presidents

>>65745657
It is part of the system, lots of politicians just get elected because people are forced to vote and they just vote on the guy that shows up on TV a lot, or visits their shitty town/neighborhood the most.

Japan the only rational one
>letting teenagers vote

>>65745733
Not any more, they recently lowered it to 18

>>65745733
Not like 20yo are much better. If you wanna have a real break between age ranges, use 25. Teenagers are shit because they're not really engaged with general society, but college is not really any better. With 25 you're giving the vote to the working demographic.

>>65745730
Also somewhat explains our Presidents, although we do get a good one every once in a while.

Not that pseudo-leftist goverment's politicians. They literally do that.

>>65743439
I didn't vote in 2014 and had to pay 4 reais.

>>65744839
Actually there are 3 + independants, it's just there is one booth for Dear Leader and one for the others

The 2 other parties are joke of course.

>>65745602
Prisoners should vote (except corruption charges), and be payed a decent wage if they work. It's key to rehabilitation tb'h.

>>65747992
Here they dont work.

>>65748545
Ok, then a basic provision maybe. In the US prisonners are basically slave labour.

>>65744839
There are 3 or 4 parties actually and also independents, but they all must accept the leader's rule.

>>65748927
If you vote for any other party than the Worker's Party, you must use a separate booth. Also, turnout is near 100% because boycotting is direct ticket for reeducation camp.

>>65742280
Lefties begin with the brainwashing through bread and circus from an early age.
Poor people have more children and younger children thend to follow their parents' teachings more than older individuals, so the earlier they can vote, the more vots the left wing will have. It's machiavellic

18 is too young, they know nothing about anything yet at that age.
Especially with this current cancer generation. 25 should be the minimum voting age.

>>65745631
Not here. In the US, if a politician wants to steal from public funds, he will substract a very small percentage, something you can barely notice. Here it can escalate to a considerable chunk of our annual GDP

>>65742280
21 should be everywhere tb h

>>65745849
18 is adult desu
