For historical reference it was the 26th amendment, ratified in 1971, that dropped the voting age to 18. The obligatory link.

At the time one of the compelling arguments was that young men could be drafted and go off to war at age 18, so why not let them vote?

16 is too young. Heck, 18 is debatable.

True.  Even 19 can be questionable but I guess we can live with 18.
