ESSAY PLAN TEMPLATE – 30 MARKERS

Title: Evaluate the extent to which lowering the voting age may be the best way to improve
participation in the UK

Introduction General Participation in the UK is significantly lower than it
introductory arguably should be, with some arguing a lowered voting
remarks age may improve this


Thesis Whilst it would increase voting, it is likely that some
statement/ teenagers would not take it as serious, alongside there
scope being a likelihood for voting influences and a lack of
interest.
Counter Topic 16-year-olds have significant amounts of responsibility
thesis sentence already, over mature topics and situations, such as joining
the armed forces, engaging in sexual relationships,
marriage, and paying tax so it is contradictory to say that
they are not old enough or mature enough to vote, when
they are already treated like citizens.
Support



Thesis Topic Young people are deemed not old or responsible enough to
sentence buy things such as cigarettes or alcohol themselves, so it is
clear that they would not be able to take on other adult
responsibilities. Young people have rights over themselves,
however lowering the voting age gives them responsibility
over other people.
Support



Counter Topic If given the opportunity, young people may show an
thesis sentence interest in voting



Support It was shown when young people were able to participate in
the 2014 Scottish Independence referendum, that young
people have a significant engagement in politics, with 75%
of the age group voting, and creating a positive democratic
effect.
