Though the Cambridge, MA city council in 2002 passed 8-1 a resolution to allow 17-year-olds to vote in municipal elections, it has gone nowhere. Not to be too cynical, but if 16- and 17-year olds could vote, it would be harder for state legislators to pass, say, restrictive driving rules or higher insurance rates for drivers younger than a certain age.
