option #1. Anything else is just an arbitrary number.  I support gradually lowering the voter age though, so people get used to it.  If at any point it is deemed too low (with good reason), then we can just decide to stop there. Right now, there is absolutely no reason not to lower the age to 16.

I can think of a reason: sixteen year olds.

Ha! Good point. While we're at it, let's disenfranchise another spoiled segment of the population: Republicans Smiley

A citizenship test for anyone under 18 isn't a bad idea, either.
