The Seimas is again considering a constitutional amendment in 2025 that would allow voting in local elections from the age of 16. Although this is not the first time the project has returned to the political agenda, this year it has moved forward again and has received both support and criticism.

Student organizations argue that current 16-year-olds have more responsibilities than previous generations. Martynas Dikšaitis, president of the Student Union, says that many young people at this age already work, pay taxes or enter into contracts, so the right to vote would be a logical continuation of these responsibilities. According to him, the right to vote would encourage greater involvement of young people in the life of local communities.

The Ministry of Justice and part of the public are expressing the greatest caution. Minister of Justice Rita Tamašunienė states that the political knowledge of young people is still superficial. According to critics, before expanding the electorate, civic education should first be strengthened and the activities of local government institutions explained (source).

The conference on youth empowerment and participation, organized by the Youth Affairs Group of the Ministry of Social Security and Labour, was also held in the Seimas on 09 May, 2025. ​The Youth Affairs Council event was designed to review youth involvement in local government, challenges and achievements.​ Kretinga - Youth Capital 2025 - presented events that will try to strengthen youth interest in politics.

Youth e-participation is one of the priorities of Lithuanian youth NGOs; however it remains a debated topic. A draft of the Procedure for Electronic Voting was prepared in 2020. On June 19, 2024, the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) organized a presentation of the conclusions of the feasibility study on online voting. The expert group that conducted the feasibility study concluded that there is a possibility of implementing online voting in Lithuania, however, until the probability of social, geopolitical and technological risks is reduced, it is recommended to postpone the implementation of online voting.

In February 2024, the conference "Youth participation - between solutions and consumerism" took place in the Parliament. During the discussion, the participants spoke about the civic education of individuals and the interest of young people to participate and join youth organizations and/or groups. During the discussion, the activity of young people joining informal organizations and avoiding formal organizations was touched upon. It was noted that in order to expand and strengthen the activities of informal organizations, it is mandatory to strengthen public trust in them, which would contribute to the transparency of informal organizations and the stability of their activities. According to the data collected by the Agency of Youth Affairs, the level of the citizenship-charity indicator has particularly increased (the share of the average citizenship-charity indicator increased by 29 percent from 2020 to 2023). It was noted that in order to educate future generations who are citizens, ready for joint activities, it is necessary to encourage young people to participate in voluntary activities and organizations: Maltese, scouts, Red Cross, Riflemen's Union, etc.
