A similar proposal failed to pass in 2016

San Franciscans will cast their ballots in November to decide whether 16-year-olds can vote in local elections.

The proposition, if passed, would make San Francisco the first major U.S. city to give 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote in municipal elections.

Advocates of the measure say lowering the voting age would instill a lifelong habit of voting.

You know, they say the "zoomer generation" is more conservative than us millennials. I think it'd be hilarious if SF allows 16-year-olds to cast ballots and they end up with a massive influx of conservative votes.
