Belgium: from 16 years old, we will vote in the next European elections. It is a first in the Kingdom to see minor voters taking their place in the voting booth.
They number exactly 268,147, or 2.9% of the electorate. The voting arrangements for 16-17 year olds have changed several times. Initially optional and on a voluntary basis, it finally became compulsory ten days ago, after a ruling from the Belgian Constitutional Court, as for all Belgian citizens. The difference is that minors will not be punished if they do not vote.
