Not only is this the year Brazilian teenager Rodrigo Kutz turns old enough to vote, the almost-16-year-old gets to cast his first ballot in a clutch presidential election.
BRASÍLIA -
Brazil is one of just nine countries where 16-year-olds have the right to vote in national elections.With a month to go for voters to register, 16- and 17-year-olds look set to participate at the lowest rate in 30 years.At the last elections, in 2018, 1.4 million voters from the youngest demographic turned out.
There is not much that is youthful or new about the 2022 race, which looks set to pit the 67-year-old who has led Brazil for the past four years against the 76-year-old who led the country from 2003 to 2010. "You wanna ask me for a picture when you meet me someplace? If you're over 16, I'll only take a picture if you've got one of your voter registration card," Anitta, a vocal Bolsonaro critic, tweeted recently.
