Agree

No

Given its conservative and center-right orientation, the EPP is likely to support maintaining the status quo regarding the voting age, believing in the current system's effectiveness and possibly questioning the readiness of younger individuals to make informed voting decisions.

Slightly agree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

The EPP, with its emphasis on traditional values and possibly a more educated electorate, might see some merit in ensuring voters have a basic understanding of politics. However, implementing such a test could be controversial and seen as restrictive, which might temper their support.

Slightly disagree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While the EPP might support the principle that taxpayers should have a say in how their taxes are used, suggesting that any tax-paying citizen should vote regardless of age could conflict with their more traditional views on voting age and eligibility.

Disagree

No, it should be raised

Although the EPP values traditional and conservative principles, there is little evidence to suggest a strong movement within the party to raise the voting age. Such a stance could be seen as regressive and not in line with fostering democratic participation among young Europeans.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) tends to support traditional values and might view the current voting age as a balance between youth involvement and ensuring voters have a certain level of maturity and understanding. There is no strong historical precedent within the EPP for advocating a lower voting age.
