“Citizens who, on the day of the election, have reached 18 years of age shall have the electoral right. The right to stand for election shall be established by the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania and by the election laws. Citizens who are declared by a court to be legally incapacitated shall not participate in elections.”
Citizens who have reached 18 years of age on election day have the right to vote. The right to stand for election is established by the Constitution and the election laws. Citizens declared legally incapacitated by a court do not take part in elections.
A young person who turns 18 on the very day of the Seimas election can already vote, but can become a candidate only after reaching the age set by the Constitution and the election laws.
Memorise the number 18, the voting age on election day. Questions also ask who does not take part in elections (citizens declared incapacitated by a court) and what sets the right to stand for election (the Constitution and the election laws).
