Debate grows over voting at 16 in Germany
Original: wahlrecht
Germany's debate over lowering the voting age to 16 is back in focus, with discussion of how parties courted young voters in Berlin, where 16- and 17-year-olds can already vote in state elections. Commentary is examining what first-time young voters expect from Berlin's parties and how much their votes influenced the political landscape.
Why now: Fresh attention on young voters' impact in Berlin politics has reignited the national debate about lowering the voting age.
