A Colorado city is set to decide whether to lower the minimum voting age in local elections to 16-years-old.
The Denver Post reveals the city of Golden, which is located outside Denver, will vote in November on the issue.
If passed, voters as young as 16 would be able to cast ballots in elections for local candidates on local issues.
Golden would be the first Colorado community to approve such a measure.
The measure would go into effect in November 2019, but the city would still require residents to be at least 18-years-old to run for office.
