There should be a maximum voting age

just like there is a minimum age. why should someone over 70 that doesnt contribute anything to society still be allowed to vote... especially about topics that wont affect them anymore.

Medical science just know that it takes a certain age for brain to develop so that the person is mature enough to take mature decisions. But the opposite is not true, we can't say that the ability to take decision will expire at certain age. It can't be true for everyone.

@ABCDEF7 Yes, I think there's a process that everyone goes through, usually between the ages of 15 and 25, during which people learn who they are and how to live sensibly and develop sound reasoning abilities. And all too often, during this time, people end up learning a lot of things the hard way.

Insurance companies understand that people aren't fully mature at age 18. I've heard that car insurance rates generally go down for guys when they turn 25, if they've been driving for a few years and have a good driving record. And a person has to be at least 35 to become President, for the same reason.
