Why NZ children 10 & over should be able to vote.

Kia Ora, I’m Chloe, and I am here to persuade you to think that New Zealand children should be able to vote, because children can make their own decisions, and if they win they will be happy that they have changed New Zealand with their own decision.


I would love it if we could vote, it would give us independence, we will feel more free.  I promise kids will be mature when voting, they will vote for someone amazing for New Zealand.  After voting, children will be better and quicker at making decisions.

According to “the top ten” some kids think that they are more responsible than some 18 year olds! Sounds crazy right, but some people voting out there are not making the right choice. SO WHY CAN’T WE VOTE?

It is being ageist, the kid that agreed with what I was saying says that being ageist is as bad as being sexist and racist. It is inequality because you’re saying that children under 18 aren’t responsible enough for making a choice. That is just not fair!

Altogether I think children should be able to vote at elections so they become more mature and they will be excited to make their own decisions to change New Zealand. I hope I changed your mind!
