What age must you be to vote in elections and referendums?
According to human rights law, a fixed age limit to ensure that individuals taking part in the electoral process are sufficiently mature, constitutes a justifiable restriction of the right to free elections.
important In Estonia, the legal age for voting in the Riigikogu and European Parliament elections and to participate in referendums is 18 years of age. However, the legal age for voting in local elections is 16 years of age, according to the Municipal Council Election Act.
note The regulation of the right to free elections and the legal voting age differs from state to state.
