Considerations to Lower Voting Age to 18 in Singapore

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Prime Minister whether there is any renewed consideration being given to lower the voting age to 18 years of age and, if not, why not.

Mr Chan Chun Sing (for the Prime Minister): I shared with this House, in August 2019, in reply to a question from Dr Lim Wee Kiak, the considerations for keeping our voting age at 21. These considerations have not changed. The Member may wish to refer to the Hansard.
