Do you think there should be an upper age limit on voting?

There is a minimum age to vote - do you think there should be an upper limit too, as those at the other end of the spectrum are down to their last decade or so of life and shouldn't get a say in major decisions affecting all those generations behind them that will have to live with the consequences (i.e. Brexit and the divide between how the older / younger generations voted)

If they still have their wits about them they should vote.

@jackjjackson Luckily, as my job is basically doing math and complicated logic puzzles all day - I get to test my wits every day 😂

Maybe but how would THEY know especially if you vote absentee 🤣 @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson Good question. Hospital records? Routine testing of 30-somethings for dementia and Alzheimer’s is a waste of money, but there are a whole range of injuries and conditions etc that would render someone incapable of voting at any age.

When I go to vote I take a doctor’s note just in case. @QuixoticSoul
