Alternattiva Demokratika Zghazagh reiterates its longstanding call for the provision of universal suffrage for 16 year olds. ADZ said that it believes that 16 year olds should not have to wait till 2024 in order to participate in General and European elections.

ADZ Chairperson James Gabaretta stated, "young people are both the present and the future of our country. Young people will feel both the immediate and long term effects of political decisions taken today. As such, they should have a say in those decisions through the democratic process."

ADZ spokesperson Marc' Andrea Cassar further stated, "AD has called for voting rights to 16 year olds ever since the 2008 election. Our position remains the same today. If 16 years olds can work and marry, they should have the right to vote. Others are now joining AD in calling for this development to enhance democratic participation."
