Article 43 on the 2024 Town Warrant is asking if the Town will authorize and request the Select Board to petition the General Court of the Commonwealth for Home Rule Legislation to allow any citizens in the Town of Lexington, who have reached the age of 16 or older, to register and vote in municipal elections within the Town, or to take any action in relative thereto. Would you support this article? Why or why not?

No. Young people are not informed enough, too immature and lack enough life experience to vote. Young people are heavily influenced by adults such as teachers and parents (and therefore subject to coercion).
