    I think so. There is no reason for someone not to be able to vote in a country and able to vote in a different one merely for age.

Just because two people are the same age does not necessarily mean that they are both experts or mature enough to vote. Different countries expect certain ages to act a certain way. I believe that it depends on each individual country to decide their own restrictions on voting.  Less

The voting age does not drop below 16, with 18 being the most common. This being the case, I do not see the need for a global standardization. The focus should instead be on education to ensure people are receiving adequate information and updates about politics in their country (wherever possible).  Less

    I do not really see the point to standardize voting age when 85% of nations set their voting age at 18. So it already is almost a global standard.
