Getting more people to vote is surely good.

As for young minds still developing/being immature, you could say over 60's minds are declining - should they be refused a vote? Some pensioners pay little or no tax, should they also be barred from voting?
You're confecting an argument here. Why over 60? Where's the evidence that this should be a cut-off point for voting?

As to "paying little or no tax" - please ask Russ.
