An independent panel of legal experts is recommending lowering the voting age to 16.
The government scrapped plans in March to introduce legislation to the house which would lower the voting age, after a Supreme Court ruling in November last year.
The Supreme Court said the voting age of 18 was discriminatory, inconsistent with the Bill of Rights.
University of Otago law professor Andrew Geddis is part of the independent panel.
He spoke with Corin Dann.
