The Most Comprehensive List Of Voting Ages In All Countries

What is voting age?

A person has to be at least the voting age, which is set by law, in order to be able to vote in a public election. The most common voting age is 18, but people can vote as young as 16 and as old as 25. (Check the list below). Most countries have a minimum age to vote, which is usually written into their constitutions. In some countries, everyone who is eligible to vote has to vote, but in most it is up to the person.

In most democracies, the voting age was set at 21 or higher when the right to vote was first given. In the 1970s, 18 was the new voting age in many countries. In a number of countries, plans are being talked about to lower the voting age to or below 18. In Brazil, for example, the country’s constitution from 1988 lowered the minimum age from 18 to 16.
