    What I would add that got pointed out to me today is, that if we have a general election every 5 years, someone who turns 18 just after an election potentially may not be able to vote for the first time untill they almost 23.

    I agree that’s unfortunate, the first vote I was eligible for was at 21. It’s not ideal. I think a better solution would be to have more (meaningful) votes (not necessarily with shorther terms)

    Again, my opinion is that being able to vote for the first time between 16-20 sounds a lot better than voting for the first time between 18-22.

    I’m not sure. I would rather just increase the age limit to 20, and implement a fix to have more times you can vote.
