Austria Lowers Voting Age. (2007, April 17). Retrieved July 10, 2007 from http://www.youthrights.org/nyranews2007.php.

This article refers to a monumental step for Austria which may prove beneficial to the United States as the voting trend of youths will be watched closely. This article will help establish a major viewpoint (from another country’s example) for lowering the voting age in America. This article though found on a youth movement web site is still authoritative because of the letter written by the ambassador. This article will be referenced with another AB regarding other countries viewpoints. A possible quote to refer to: “We demand so much responsibility from the younger generation and load so many burdens on their shoulders that we feel it was the right thing to do,” wrote Austrian ambassador Eva Nowotny in a letter to National Youth Rights Association (NYRA).
