Britain to Lower Voting Age to 16, Sparking Political and Social Changes

Britain will lower the voting age from 18 to 16 by the next national election to boost democratic participation, joining countries like Austria and Brazil. The move includes reforms such as automatic voter registration and the use of bank cards for ID, aiming to increase turnout and safeguard against foreign interference. The changes, supported by the Labour Party and likely to pass, are part of broader electoral reforms to restore public trust in democracy.
