Vote: What should the voting age be?

Lots of Newsround viewers are interested in the General Election, but most of them can't vote.

That's because you need to be 18 or over to vote.

The voting age has prompted lots of debate in history.

The voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in 1969.

They were allowed the same rights as men when the voting age for them was lowered to 21 in 1928.
