Misinformation is prevalent on social media. Young people need to be taught critical thinking skills to navigate it. If #Votesat16 is to work, it must be backed by high-quality Citizenship education in every school and college. ow.ly/Zlha50WMeQG

Automatic Voter Registration could have a far greater impact than #votesat16 - on representation, boundaries & the urban - rural balance, but maybe not on turnout.

Don't let 16-year-olds vote without these changes to education
We surely cannot extend the right to vote unless we put in place a system that enables the young to understand the responsibility they carry
