How will the countries politics change, If everyone irrespective of their age is allowed to vote?

If for example, we say, as is the case in Nepal where the voting age is 16, every adult citizen has the right to vote, that will not be sufficient to change politics. Registering to vote, having a voting booth easy to get to, having ballots that are easy to read and understand and mark, having enough voting stations to prevent long lines, having voting days and hours that maximize the opportunity to go and vote, having a vote counting system that is transparent and guaranteed to reflect the actual count of the votes, and most of all having voter education so people are motivated and go and vote. All of these provisions are necessary for assuring the public that those who win elections actually are the people that won.
