This thesis attempts to explore how a children’s rights perspective can create a space to challenge adolescents’ exclusion from voting processes and how to approach the protection-based arguments against adolescents’ suffrage. In the process, this paper analyses various theoretical and legal constructs that are inevitably connected with adolescent suffrage. Therefore, it raises questions about the relationship between lowering the voting age and theories of children’s empowerment, children’s citizenship, children’s participation, and the issue of age limits generally. It should be noted that the paper uses phrases “lowering the voting age”, “children’s suffrage” or “adolescent’s suffrage” interchangeably to express the idea of lowering the voting age to 14 years. This recommended age limit is based on the various legal age limits that are exceptions to the age of majority defined by the UNCRC and those used in other fields related to children’s activities, for instance work or criminal responsibility.
