Should the minimum voting age be lowered?

  ChatGPTYes

Free Democratic Party’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

The Free Democratic Party (FDP) has shown support for lowering the voting age in the past. In 2018, the FDP in North Rhine-Westphalia advocated for lowering the voting age to 16 in local elections. However, this stance may not be universally supported within the party, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

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

While the FDP has not explicitly advocated for this position, they generally support liberal and democratic values, which could include extending voting rights to tax-paying citizens. However, this is not a primary focus of the party, so the score is not very high.

Disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the FDP has shown support for lowering the voting age in some instances. Therefore, they would likely disagree with maintaining the current voting age, but not as strongly as they would disagree with raising it.

Strongly disagree

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

The FDP is a liberal party that supports democratic values and equal rights for all citizens. Requiring voters to pass a test would likely be seen as an infringement on these values and an unnecessary barrier to voting. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this position.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised
