Kids that are 16 have no life experience whatsoever and are taught to trust their teachers. They are the closest to the indoctrination so giving them the vote would be like giving the US Teachers unions several million votes to play with. Terrible plan.
I don't give a shit about age of majority or even if women vote (that's been a tragic mistake). They need to make voting a privilidge given to those who participate in society. Millitary service members, land owners, business owners, etc. People with skin in the game.
If anyone can vote then those who do nothing, build nothing, and earn nothing can simply vote to have everything you do, build, an earn.
