The ruling party is making efforts to fulfill the promises made in the elections. However, implementing every promise made is not an easy task. There are not all these limitations. The party that is in the opposition position while staying away from power. If they come to power, they make promises as if they will take down even a monkey on a hill. Such is the key decision taken by the Labour party that came to power in Britain. Currently, the right to vote in that country is only for those who are 18 years of age. However, the Labour party came to power in the recent presidential election. As part of the election campaign, it was made clear that if they got power. They will provide voting rights to sixteen-year-olds.
 With the victory of the Labour party in the elections held last year, the implementation of this promise has become crucial. In line with their recent promise, they have decided to reduce the voting age from the current 18 years to 16 years. It is said that this decision will come into effect in the elections to be held in 2029. Lowering the voting age is being described as the biggest change in the british democratic system. It is also expected that the voter ID system will be expanded in the UK. Credit cards and debit cards issued by banks will also be considered as identity cards in polling booths. Because the decision means that everyone who is eligible to vote has taken a fresh decision without leaving any opportunity to exercise their right to vote.
