Dubbo mayor Mathew Dickerson, Dubbo MP Troy Grant and Parkes MP Mark Coulton gathered together at the Church Street Rotunda for the July Community Leaders Breakfast.

In response to a call put out by the NSW Youth Parliament to lower the voting age to 16 years, as a part of the YMCA NSW Youth Parliament held at Parliament House in Sydney earlier in July, the leaders have stood their ground in supporting current legal voting age.

While the group were pushing for the state's political leaders to bestow their trust in young people with the right to vote, Mr Coulton said he believed 16 years of age was too young for an individual to be given the right to vote.

"When people are 16, they're still formulating how they think," Mr Coulton said.

"They're still at school and they're still learning about the ways of life."

Mr Coulton said he believed the current legal voting age, 18 years, was suitable.

"When someone is 18, they're legally classified as an adult," he said.

"They've finished school and just starting to contribute to the community."

Mr Grant said the idea suggested by the NSW Youth Parliament was an interesting concept.

"The ability to vote younger may in turn effect the end results," Mr Grant said.

Cr Dickerson did not support the idea to lower the legal voting age to 16 years.

"I think 18 years old is fine, it's a reasonable age to start contributing," he said.
