A legal '''voting age''' is the minimum age that a person is allowed to [[Voting|vote]] in a [[democracy|democratic process]]. For [[General election|general elections]] around the world, the [[right to vote]] is restricted to adults, and most nations use 18 years of age as their voting age, but for other countries their voting age ranges between 16 and 21 (with the sole exception of the [[United Arab Emirates]] where the voting age is 25). A nation's voting age may therefore coincide with the country's [[age of majority]], but in many cases the two are not tied.
