by confirming the information on a government site
Official sources — the country's constitution, electoral commission, ministry of the interior, or an official government publication — are the most authoritative and up‑to‑date for legal voting ages. After checking a government source, you can also cross‑check with reputable international bodies (IPU, IDEA), academic articles, or major news outlets for confirmation. Avoid relying solely on wikis, personal blogs, or forum posts.
