ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party of Switzerland generally supports lowering the voting age as they believe in increasing political participation and empowering young people. In 2015, the party's youth wing, Juso, launched a campaign to lower the voting age to 16 in Switzerland. However, the score is not a full 5 because the party as a whole has not made this a central issue in their platform.

Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote
