The UK government has announced plans to lower the voting age to 16 for all national elections, with changes expected to take effect before the next general election.
The reform is part of a new strategy paper aimed at modernising the electoral system and boosting participation.
The plan also includes allowing UK-issued bank cards and digital forms of ID, such as digital driving licences, to be used at polling stations.
A new digital Voter Authority Certificate will replace paper versions, and voter registration will become automated.
The government will also tighten donation rules to stop foreign interference and increase fines for breaches of political finance laws.
Candidates will no longer be required to publish their home addresses to improve safety, and harassment of campaigners will carry tougher penalties.
