    In my proposal, there is no need for them to scan your ID, they would only see your age written on the citizen card, just like they do when you want to buy cigarettes. Don’t pretend you didn’t understand the spirit of the suggestion.

    P.S.: Nothing is safer than paper. I’m also against electronic vote.

      And how does that process guarantee that your token identifies only you? It seems that an adult can go to the store at different times and get n tokens, which they can then give to minors.

        Yes, an adult could give them, just as nowadays an adult can forge fake IDs to sell to kids, but it would be a crime. If they were caught, they would suffer appropriate consequences.

          And what about online-only services (which is the majority)? Seems a partial and error prone solution not worth the effort over no verification at all.
