Assume the government is about to enact a fairly serious bit of legislation, but they call upon a referendum. (For example, the upcoming 2017 referendum regarding membership in the EU for the UK).
Considering it'll impact the younger citizens of the electorate more than the old, in the long run, should the worth of votes be proportional to age brackets?
As a system of implementation, there are polling systems and stations made specifically for that age range, and you must present identification before casting your ballot.

Nope. That would lead to massive corruption in voting and an unfair election. People would use that to say that corporations should have greater weight in lobbying or voting power of their employees when the referendum involves them. It's up to the individuals to pay attention. If people in my age bracket (18-25 let's say) can't show up to vote or are too lazy to do so then it's their fault.
