What minimum age is the most common and what are some examples of the extremes in minimum voting age of democratic nations?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) November 6th, 2008 from iPhone

In 1971 the 26th amendment to the US constitution was ratified reducing the legal voting age from 21 to 18. My question asks if 18 is the age that most other nations follow that allow their people to vote or not. What is the youngest voting age in other countries? The oldest minimum voting age?
