Vote 16 - When opponents turn into supporters preview

This publication reflects the joint cooperation carried out throughout 2017 by FEPS, Društvo Progresiva and the Renner Institut on the Vote 16 project. It assembles opinion pieces and experiences from various countries on the lowering of the voting age to 16 as a means to increase young people’s participation in politics. With the project and the Vote 16 publication, FEPS, Drustvo Progresiva and the Renner Institut brought about a space for discussion and provided expert insights and new ideas for the potential lowering of the voting age in Slovenia.
