Yes

The German Alliance '90/The Greens party has historically supported lowering the minimum voting age. In 2018, they proposed a bill in the Bundestag to lower the voting age to 16 for federal elections, arguing that young people should have a say in their future and that it would increase political engagement among youth.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While the Greens party has not explicitly tied voting rights to tax-paying status, they do support expanding voting rights to more citizens, including younger individuals. They might partially agree with this statement, as it suggests expanding voting rights, but they would likely prefer a more inclusive approach that does not rely solely on tax-paying status.

Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

The Greens party would likely strongly disagree with requiring voters to pass a basic test on politics, as this could be seen as a barrier to voting and potentially discriminatory. The party generally supports making voting more accessible and inclusive, and a test requirement would contradict those values.
