Strongly agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) in Germany has shown support for lowering the voting age in the past. In 2018, the SPD's youth organization, Jusos, called for lowering the voting age to 16 in federal elections. While not all members of the SPD may agree, the party generally leans towards lowering the voting age.

Agree

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

While the SPD supports lowering the voting age, the specific condition of paying taxes might not be a primary factor for them. They might agree with the general idea of expanding voting rights, but the focus on tax-paying citizens could be seen as limiting and not fully aligned with their values.

Disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the SPD has shown support for lowering the voting age, so they would likely disagree with keeping the voting age the same. However, some members might still be in favor of maintaining the current voting age, so the disagreement is not absolute.

Very strongly disagree

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

The SPD is a progressive party that supports expanding voting rights and political participation. Requiring voters to pass a basic test would be seen as a barrier to voting and against their values. They would strongly disagree with this statement.
