were all in attendance to bridge international gaps and share what we’ve
all been working on.
The campaigns present swapped tips, the enthusiastic audience got answers
to all their questions, and everyone gained new depth to their convictions
about this crucial issue. The rights of young people are being withheld!
Someone’s got to do something! Oh right, we’re doing something.

Wonderful world forum on vote 16. 🙏 to organizers, and my youth advisors
for their leadership. inspiring to hear from youth advocates from across
the globe. The biggest obstacle we face is ageism and neg stereotypes about
youth. @Vote16Canada @CCYF_CCJF #vote16world

note that someone’s unforeseeable technical difficulty (mine!) means that
the video portion doesn’t work until 26 minutes in.
Below are the highlights of what we got out the forum, and what you should
be looking out for in the coming months from the Vote 16 World movement!
Now that the hallucinated email inboxes have faded from my vision, I can
look with pride on what we’ve managed to start by bring together these
exceptional people. Momentum is growing, lowering the voting age is
becoming an ever more serious movement.
To sum up, I can only say one thing: Watch this space.
Best,
Aleksi

MP Bachrach’s bill has multipartisan support from four of Canada’s major
parties, not to mention support from pro-youth organizations like the Young
Canadians’ Parliament and Children First Canada. He’s optimistic that this
bill will be receive majority support in the House to bring it to

Yeah.

Sanat showed how the Māori values and philosophy, which are often employed
in New Zealand campaigning, are imbued within his organization. Connection
to other people, and to nature, applies to their campaign because of the
common thread of political issues young people face. The common connection
being a desire to strengthen democracy. Empowering people at the flax roots
gives power to local communities to find their own motivations for
supporting Vote16. Māori storytelling has inspired Make It 16 to base their
campaign around narratives

This philosophy has worked for them! Soon, they will be getting a hearing
date from the Supreme Court of New Zealand, which they hope will lead to a
formal declaration that the voting rights of 16-17s are being breached.

about what we can learn from places that have lowered the voting age.
Recently, Dr. Eichhorn has been traveling through Canada and the US to meet
with researchers, campaigners, and legislators. The picture above is him at
the University of Maryland, talking about Vote16’s impacts on political
participation.
At the forum, he shared insights as to why Vote16 was such a success in
Scotland:
1.
Public support went from 30% to 60% after the first election was held
with the lowered voting age, because people saw young people took full

advocacy, turned schools into radiant hubs for political participation
3.
Youth networks, like the Scottish Youth Parliament
