@calestous but most the youth don't understand their constitutions. I am doing a research on how many can read the national anthems

@mjamme You mean as a precondition to voting? -
@calestous yes! So perhaps we can ask that first. We can do the poll. How many young people understand their constitutions.? -
@mjamme That argument was used to deny blacks the vote in the US -
@calestous be realistic,@mjamme is talking of political awareness&u throw back oppression due to racism?please! -
@twendekavune Political education is important for all ages. But can't be a pre-condition for expanding voting rights@mjamme -
@calestous tend to disagree- I think if we can educate our youth about politics, they will vote. Most don't know why they do@twendekavune -
@mjamme A lot of adults have same problem. So they vote for tribe or bribe. Political education is key for all voters@twendekavune - 18 more replies

@calestous I think 16 is young to take any decision, even having a child anywhere in the World, we have to help them get education -
@ZepureL They just voted in Argentina. They also vote in Austria, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Malta and Nicaragua. -
@calestous What I knew at 16 & what I know now it is completely different -
@ZepureL I should hope so. Experience is a good teacher.

@calestous Given Uganda's median age is<16, it's reasonable to lower the voting age so that about 50% of the people can vote#UgandaDecidesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
