What would you consider the right age for someone to be allowed to vote?

I believe voting has to do with the ability of an individual to select the right person whom he wishes and hope to build or develop the country's economy. This implies that voting should be done by matured people who can identify what is good from what is bad because they are able to make right decisions by themselves. It is not appropriate to have underage kids to take part in voting.
I suggest the best age for voting should be from 18 and above because most people of these age are matured enough to take decisions by themselves. These set of people knows what is best for them and they can either choose the right person to make their country a better place or vote for the wrong person all because of the temporary gift or bribe they will gain in return.
In conclusion, I suggest the best time to vote should be 18 and above because most people of this age are matured enough to take decisions by themselves.
Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.
25! :)
Lols.... @steem.how... Why do you go for age 25? 😀😀
Thanks for your lovely comment and I am hoping to get a reply for my question 😊
Looking back on myself when I was 18, I'd have to disagree. At 18, I knew very, very little. Almost nothing about how the world worked. It took a lot of education - and self education - to understand the world more fully. My 18 year old self is an idiot compared to my 25 year old self and completely retarded compared to my 40 year old self. Also, people's brains stop developing around 25 years old, so there's still more biological maturing that needs to happen. Last, teenagers want to uproot the whole world because everything seems unfair. One big difference me of 18 and me of 25 is the ability to come to terms with the unfairness of life and differentiate unfairness due to misfortune and unfairness due to unjust, conscious action. That was difficult for me then.
