Why NZ children should be able to vote
Hi, my name is Ahlia and I am going to talk to you about why NZ children should be able to vote. I have 3 reasons which include: children live in our country like everyone else, it would be easier to decide on a winner, and they will learn how to vote for when they are older.
The children live in this country so they should be able to vote and have an opinion about the prime minister and government. Also, it wouldn’t be fair if children didn’t have a government or prime minister that they want. Kids should get a chance to choose the government or prime minister they want.
A lot of the time votes are very close or can tie, but if more people vote like children, there will be more opinions so the votes may not be so close. If it is not so close it will be easier to decide on a winner.
It will be a lot easier for kids to vote when they are older because they would know how to do it. Also when you are older like 18 or an adult you have lots of work from University and a job and don’t have time to learn how to vote. But when you are a kid you don’t have a job so you have lots of time to learn how to vote.
In conclusion, I think children should be able to vote because they are part of our society, they can contribute to the amount of votes and will become better voters when they're older.
