It is proposed to lower the voting age in general elections to 16 years old.

According to the website of Spanish newspaper "Abc," the British government announced on July 17 that it plans to lower the voting age for elections from 18 to 16. The government had previously promised to implement this reform before last year's general election. In addition to lowering the minimum voting age, the reform also includes a simpler voter registration system and a series of new measures to prevent foreign interference in the electoral process. This means that if the next election is held in 2029, all young people who turn 12 in 2025 will have the right to vote, marking a milestone in youth participation in elections in the UK.
