Raise it to 35 anyways, since young people don't have the maturity or experience to handle such a heavy responsibility. Then tie to National Service--either in the military or healthcare or the parks and environmental cleanup.
Once upon a time you WERE an adult by 18, in some cases younger than that. I'm not speaking legally, but maturity wise. Life was a shit ton harder back then, but you could be married with two kids and a home by your early 20's. Your quality of life sucked ass, but I think letting people vote at 18 made more sense back then. Today I'd fully support raising the age significantly.
They barely do anyway. You could raise the voting age to 25 and barely impact electoral results
