The Election Age Act is a Bill that has been presented to the PEI Legislative Assembly in Fall 2020 then Spring 2021. It deals with the lowering of the voting age from 18 to 16 in Municipal and Provincial elections on PEI. As this Bill undergoes debate, this week we look at the history of voting enfranchisement in Canada, as well as discuss the reasoning behind extending this franchise to youth, and try and clarify the various misconceptions around 16 and 17 year olds being able to vote. Our guests for today are MLA Karla Bernard, who introduced this Bill to the floor, and Nate Hood, who did significant research on the matter.
