The current voting age of America is 18 and should be maintained for many years to come. There are many reasons why the voting age is set at 18. First the brain doesn't reach full maturety until the ages of 18 and 21. Secondly most of the youth of America aren't interested in voting in any election, whether it's for local office or for the presidency. Finally society as a whole needs to get involved in elections not just a few 16 and 17 year olds who havent even graduated from high school yet.
When a person votes, whether in a local or national election, they need to understand the facts, and the importance that their vote has on a larger scale. this is impossible to do if an individual doesn't have the emotional maturity to do so. 18 year
