Vivek Ramaswamy Proposes Constitutional Amendment To Raise Voting Age to 25 Or Require Military Service, Civics Exam
"Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wants to raise the voting age to 25 or require “civic duty” stipulations for younger voters.
“We want to restore civic duty in the mindset of the next generation of Americans,” Ramaswamy said in a video that was played on Fox News’ Outnumbered Thursday. “And how we want to do it is to say that if you want to vote as an 18-year-old — between the ages of 18 to 25 — you need to either do your civic duty through service to the country.”
“That’s six months of service in either military service or in a first responder, including police, fire, or otherwise — or else you have to pass the same civics test that an immigrant has to pass in order to become a naturalized citizen who can vote in this country. At age 25, that falls away. So, in a nutshell, what we’re proposing is a Constitutional amendment to raise the voting age to 25,” the pro-Trump Republican added."
