Argentina drops its voter age to 16 - chairman - 11-02-2012
Buenos Aires (CNN) -- Argentinian lawmakers passed a new measure Wednesday lowering the nation's voting age to 16.
Representatives in the South American country's lower house overwhelmingly voted in favor of the law Wednesday. A majority of senators approved it last week.
The move to lower the voting age from 18 to 16 comes a year before a key mid-term election in Argentina, and some critics have said it's an attempt by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her party to garner more votes.
