“Should the voting age be lowered to 16”
To support the council’s Change Thing Now Campaign, HWK Debates held a debate on Wednesday
19th February with the motion “Should the Voting Age Be Lowered to 16”. The debaters were Hassan Waqar (Director) and Mutara Sheriff (Co-Director). The debate was chaired by Steve Chambers
(CACT) with judges from Debating Matters. Interesting points were made by the debaters and Hassan was asked the most questions as he was against the motion. After all the debating, the audience
was given the chance to vote and surprisingly, Hassan won the vote.
