Should children be allowed to vote?

Imagine new rules being dropped on you without any preparation and having to go with it until it's changed or replaced?  No! Us children need a say and need to be able to vote in the general election.

First of all, we’re affected by the government’s choices too!  So we should all have a say in all the decisions that only “the adults” can make and that they’re the only ones mature enough to make the decision, but we need our own voices!  Because with a little preparation, we can make better assumptions of parties than adults ever could, and this is only a small fragment on why I think that children should be able to vote.

Secondly, children can gain all the info they need on the web, and even if they are dyslexic, (you can't read properly) they can still get information from videos and advertisements on Youtube, instead of a website, creating no boundaries on getting information for the general election.

Thirdly, children have experience to vote in their school years as they vote for school leaders, such as house captains, sports leaders and much more, giving children the experience to vote.

Finally, votings optional in New Zealand, so if a child's under to much stress, they won't have to put so much pressure on themselves and skip the voting process.

Childrens voices are very valuable when it comes to making good decisons for the country and citizens of new zealand. which is why i believe children should be able to vote.
