Voting across most of the country is restricted to citizens 18 years old or older, but one Northern California town will decide whether to lower the minimum age to vote to 16 later this year.
A small movement to lower the voting age to 16 began in recent years but has failed to gain support in any state legislatures or Congress. Some cities, including Takoma Park, Maryland, and Oakland, California, have lowered their voting ages for some local elections to 16 years old, and Albany, California, is looking to join that group.
