Why?
In Brandenburg, 16-year-olds can already vote in local elections, for example for the municipal council (Gemeindevertretung) and the district council (Kreistag). Brandenburg goes even further: here you can also vote for the state parliament (Landtag) from the age of 16. For the Bundestag election, however, you must be 18.
