We are Make it 16 – an advocacy group for a lower voting age in Aotearoa.

Make it 16 is a non-partisan, youth-led campaign advocating for more people’s voices to count in our democracy. We welcome anyone who wants a fairer and stronger democracy to join our campaign.

Our campaign is beginning with activism around Youth Parliament 2019, and we’re currently building a network of supporters nationwide to advocate and organise for a lower voting age in Aotearoa.
