The youth's vote should be more important than the elderly's.
Assume the government is about to enact a fairly serious bit of legislation, but they call upon a referendum. (For example, the upcoming 2017 referendum regarding membership in the EU for the UK).
Considering it'll impact the younger citizens of the electorate more than the old, in the long run, should the worth of votes be proportional to age brackets?
As a system of implementation, there are polling systems and stations made specifically for that age range, and you must present identification before casting your ballot.

I t depends on who the election affects most really
-
Yeah, no.
-
The young are too naive.
-
No Because the young are still developing They're not developed and thoughts and actions are not the best
-
You're assuming voting is even important at all.
-
No. It isn't fair to lower the value of someone's vote because of their age. And also, most youths don't vote anyway.
-
Nope. That would lead to massive corruption in voting and an unfair election. People would use that to say that corporations should have greater weight in lobbying or voting power of their employees when the referendum involves them. It's up to the individuals to pay attention. If people in my age bracket (18-25 let's say) can't show up to vote or are too lazy to do so then it's their fault.

No voting if a right to everyone
-
Youth are more easily influenced. Propaganda would be 10x more rampant than it is today.
-
Depends on how young or old,and if they have any medical conditions.

Nononononononono
-
How young we talking?

A lot of political support rests on support from the elderly who are usually more involved. Trying to tell a significant constituent base that their vote isn't worth as much as others is political suicide
