I feel like you are dodging the concept that children beyond a certain age are capable of limited self determination that scales up as they become more capable.
Why would the standard be “want to vote” versus are capable of voting. We don’t let kids drive cars at the age that they want to drive. The existing standard of 18 is better. I can very well see letting some 16 year olds vote based on having obtained some substantial responsibility within the community but it would be completely abused to give little upper class white kids yet another leg up so its safer to just make it either 16 or 18 for everyone.
No. I don’t think you understand anarchism.

No I’m not. I’m saying when they get to the age where they want to vote, let them.
