It seems kind of unfair seeing anyone under 18 has no way to decide the future of their country. Which they have more stake on seeing whatever decision happen while they are under 18 will be there for the rest of their life.

FWIW, the UK currently has a bill in place that will lower the voting age to 16 before the next General Election (so, before Aug 2029).
I think it’ll be a good thing. Young people are a good deal more aware of what’s happening in the country than old people are. I mean, the current arrangement has stripped away the housing and career prospects of young people and brought us to the verge of fascism again.
Some states in Germany lowered it to 16. Most of these kids voted AfD (German equivalent of Reform) during the last election.
