Proposal for 17-Year-Olds to Vote and Political Education Classes
October 31, 2024
Averof Neofytou proposes that 17-year-olds should have the right to vote and should take civic education classes to become informed about political issues. The proposal is supported by various youth organizations, which highlight the need for additional rights for young people. The Interior Minister suggests waiting as there are government bills being processed that include voting at 17. Neofytou and his associates believe there is no reason to withdraw the proposal since it aligns with government plans.
