What can you do as a minor?
Whilst as a minor you may not be able to exercise your right to vote, stand for election, or take part in public initiatives, you still possess a range of rights to civic participation. As such, you may, amongst other things:
- request information from public bodies
- express your opinion freely, including participation in protests, demonstrations, and strikes
- take part in public discussions
- take part in non-governmental organisations, including political parties
- volunteer
You have a right to exercise these rights to the same extent as adults, except on limited occasions where legal capacity may be required.
