Students Enlightened
Eighteen year-olds have been
given the vote in national elections.
This past session an amendment
to the State constitution changing
the voting age to eighteen was
submitted. Delegate James
Thomson offered the House Joint
resolution. It has to be brought up
in two sessions of the General
Assembly and then taken to the
people in a referendum. The
soonest it can be passed will be the
summer of 1972.
The governor supports the
eighteen year old vote and has ever
since his campaign. He thinks that
students today are more
enlightened, better informed and
looking for answers. The vast
majority of students were thought
by both men to have the same
ideals as they did when they were
in college.
