Quick explanation

In Bremen you can vote in elections to the Bürgerschaft (the state parliament) from the age of 16.

Why is this correct?

The voting age is set by the law of Bremen and is 16.

Background

In Bremen, young people aged 16 and over may already vote in elections to the Bürgerschaft (the state parliament). Many states have lowered the voting age for local elections to 16 so that young people can have a say earlier in what happens in their town or municipality. For the federal election, however, the voting age is still 18. Citizens of other EU countries who live there may also vote in local elections.

Why are the other answers wrong?

14, 18, 20 are wrong for Bremen. The voting age differs from state to state – remember the number for your state.

Memory tip

Bremen: vote from 16.
