Voting age by country

Nation Voting age Details
 Erishlands 17, 21 All Erish citizens at least 17 years old can vote in elections for the People’s Assembly. Those at least 21 years old can also vote in elections for the National Convention. These ages were lowered from 21 and 25 respectively in 1971. State legislatures generally follow similar limits for voting age.
 Gelonia 16
 Ghant 16 Lowered from 21 to 18 in 1970, and from 18 to 16 in 2010.
 Kayahallpa None The right to elect ones Local Councillor(s) is granted upon completing the Kayahallpan initiation ceremonies and receiving the blessing of an Elder, which typically takes place at age 15. Persons without an Elder's blessing do not have voting rights.
 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.
 Mniohuta 16 Much like the age of maturity, the age of voting is 16 in Mniohuta as per traditional cultural practices and tribal law. Depending on the age at which they were naturalised, there are certain instances where naturalised citizens may only vote after the age of 18 to ensure familiarity with the Mniohutan democratic process. Felons are typically allowed to vote even while imprisoned, though those awaiting execution are typically not afforded this right.
 North Ottonia 16/20 All Class B & Class A citizens are permitted to vote from the time they pass the Basic Civics Assessment. Citizenship exams can be taken beginning at the age of 16, making this functionally the voting age in North Ottonia. If a person opts against taking the BCA, they are permitted to vote in municipal and prefectural-level elections beginning at the age of 20.
 Pulacan 18
 South Ottonia 20 All natural-born or naturalized persons (excluding felons) in South Ottonia over the age of 20 are permitted to vote in elections for the Diet and for lower-polity elections.
 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.
 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.
 Tyreseia 16 Lowered from 20 in 1970, further lowered from 18 in 1993.
 Uluujol 18 Although Uluujol's elections are of little consequence, natural-born and naturalized citizens aged 18 and older are permitted to participate in them.
 Vannois 17 As of the 2002 Voting Rights Act Amendment, lowered from 20.
 Vardana 18 The Constitution of Vardana calls for universal suffrage for all citizens over the age of 18.
 Yisrael 21 Set from the 1954 Vote Franchise Act; lowered from 23 before 1954.
