Claim: Make It 16 representative Sophie Crozier says New Zealand's voting age should be lowered to 16, claiming countries such as Scotland and Wales and Austria have a greater turnout of 16-year-olds voting, instead of, more than 18- and 20-year-olds.
Fact-check: Lower voting age, higher participation rate, claims Make It 16
Verdict: somewhat true - a part or parts of the claim are accurate but there is also a significant problem or inaccuracy.
