Komeito Party

Agree

No

Given that Komeito supported the reduction of the voting age to 18 and has not advocated for further reduction, it can be inferred that the party believes the current minimum voting age is appropriate. Their past actions suggest a belief that 18 is a suitable age for individuals to begin participating in the democratic process, balancing youth engagement with a level of maturity and understanding.

Disagree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While Komeito has shown interest in engaging younger voters and broadening political participation, there is no specific evidence to suggest that the party supports a tax-based criterion for voting eligibility. Their policies and public statements have not directly addressed this idea, indicating a neutral or slightly negative stance towards linking taxation directly with voting rights.

Disagree

Yes

The Komeito Party, as a part of the ruling coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party, supported the legislation that lowered the voting age from 20 to 18 in 2015. This move was seen as a way to encourage political participation among youth. However, there has been no significant push from Komeito to lower the voting age further, indicating a satisfaction with the current age limit.

Strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Komeito's support for lowering the voting age to 18 in 2015 indicates a commitment to engaging younger people in the political process rather than excluding them or raising barriers to their participation. Therefore, the party would likely disagree with raising the minimum voting age, as it would contradict their previous stance on youth engagement in politics.

Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Komeito, with its roots in Buddhist principles and a focus on peace, culture, and welfare, tends to emphasize inclusivity and broad participation in the democratic process. The idea of requiring voters to pass a test could be seen as antithetical to these principles, potentially disenfranchising voters and complicating the voting process. There is no evidence to suggest that Komeito supports such measures, making it highly unlikely they would agree with this proposition.
