Today the ACT Greens are calling for optional voting for 16 and 17 year-olds in the 2020 Territory election.
Greens Democracy spokesperson Caroline Le Couteur says the recent School Strikes sparked the need for change in voting.
"As the recent School Strike made clear, we saw thousands of children taking direct action on climate change,” Ms Le Couteur said.
“It's clear that young people are more engaged than ever in our democratic process,” she said.
Labor and the Greens will establish a Select Committee to review the operations of the 2016 ACT election and Electoral Act and make recommendations on lowering the voting age.
