The voting age in Ajax varies by country. The age is usually between 16 and 21. In some countries, the voting age may differ by state or the type of vote.

Voting age by country

Nation Voting age Details
 Gelonia 16
 Ghant 16 Lowered from 21 to 18 in 1970, and from 18 to 16 in 2010.
Template:Country data Fakolana 18 After the 1893 Constitution was ratified, the constitutional voting age was universally set to age 18 in all elections, as well as opening up voting for women.
 Iotopha 18 The Constitution of Iotopha calls for universal suffrage for all citizens over the age of 18.
 Latium 17 Before 1961, the only requirements for voter eligibility were to be a land-owning, male citizen of Latium with no restrictions or mentions of age. Under the Voting Rights Edict of 1961, all Latin citizens, not felons, and even qualifying Belisarian citizens are eligible to vote in national and local elections.
 Ottonia 16 Voting age set at 16 due to it being the age of majority; although no explicit right to vote is codified in any form in the Federation prior to 1949, prior elections (usually local matters) would allow the franchise to any person who was of legal majority. To access voting rights in any election above the municipal level requires a person to pass the National Basic Civics Assessment (NBCA), and, under the 2004 Constitutional Reforms, once a person has achieved citizenship, so long as they choose not to waive it, voting is mandatory.
 Sante Reze 15 Land-owners were granted voting rights since 1502 under the Ecclesiastical Republic, which inherently included Church leaders and merchant guilds, as well as the nobility. When the Noble Republic was established in 1702, the voting rights were granted to all titled adults, where the age of adulthood was considered fifteen - this barred commons from voting even if they owned land. In 18xx, universal suffrage was enacted for all adults.
 Seredinia 16 Members of the Boyar and dvoryanstvo class were granted the right to vote for the Zemsky Sobor, or Assembly of the Land, after the first Assembly was held by the Velikiy Knyaz in 1584. The vote was expanded to all land-holding male citizens in 1796, and to all citizens over the age of 22 after the official Acts of Abolition of the Mestnichestvo hierarchy in 1879. The vote was finally expanded to all citizens over the age of 16 during the implementation of the Verizov Documents, officially on 23 September 1952.
 Sydalon 20 From the introduction of national elections in 1911 until 1946 only male, Catholic land or property owners were eligible to vote in elections, with limited sufferage for women in Petra. It wasn't until the Voting Rights Act of 1946 that suffrage was extended to include all female Catholics. Universal suffrage was later extended to include all citizens in 2004, though religious minorities still face difficulty at polling places.
 Thraysia 18 National elections do not exist in Thraysia. Local-level elections exist but are uncommon, with an age requirement of 18.
 Vannois 17 As of the 2002 Voting Rights Act Amendment, lowered from 20.
 Yisrael 21 Set from the 1954 Vote Franchise Act; lowered from 23 before 1954.
