I REFER to your front page headlines “The GE15 powerhouse” and “Two additions to voting Bill” (The Star, July 10 and 11; online at bit.ly/star_youth) reporting on the lowering of the voting age to 18.

Our youth must be empowered if they are to participate in national elections as active stakeholders.
