Citizen's will be automatically denied voting privileges for felony convictions and or declared mentally disabled by the state (Ex. Down-Syndrome, Schizophrenia, Post traumatic stress disorders (acute, chronic, or with delayed onset).
Something like this would do a lot of good to solve a lot a problems facing us.
You really can't raise the the voting age without listing the age for military conscription proportionally. Conscription hasn't actually happened for a long time, but there still exists an information system for this which men must register for at age 18. I had arbitrarily suggested raising the enlistment age along with the voting age to 25, but on second thoughts if it went that high then the War Pigs would resort to bringing back the draft because no sensible 25-year-old is going to volunteer, and the pigs always get what they want. May need to settle for making everything 21, and call that progress.
