While the Code of Good Practices in Electoral Matters allows a minimum age of up to 25 years for parliamentary candidates, lowering the minimum age might be re-considered in order to enhance parliamentary representation of young people and to align requirements for active and passive voting rights. Recently, in Turkey the minimum age was lowered from 25 to 18 years before the 2018 elections. In Austria and Malta, where only the active voting age was lowered from 18 to 16, however, there seems to be no need to reduce the minimum age for being elected to Parliament, as long as it corresponds to the age of majority.
