You should be able to vote before any of the others. Kids have a stake in their society's future.

huh i did exactly the opposite - put voting 'last', reason being it affects other people, not just yourself.

Man, wouldn't it be nice if we could assume that given that adults are still the ones running for office, that all of the options would be safe enough to let kids vote. Can we assume that? Or I guess moreover, would letting kids vote incentivize even WORSE political shitshows?
