Referendum L would lower the eligible age to serve in the Colorado General Assembly from 25 to 21 years old.

Supporters said 21 is considered an adult and young candidates will provide a different perspective on issues that are debated.

Opponents said young candidates lack maturity and life experience, and 25 is the balance between age and experience, and it is also the requirement for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Do you think 21 is too young to serve in the state legislature? How would you vote on this amendment?
