A Wellington City Councillor says he's not holding his breath on 16-year-olds getting the vote.
The Council has reaffirmed its support for letting them participate in local body elections, with only four councillors opposed.
Councillor Ben McNulty says it was a quick vote - and he was in favour.

McNulty says symbolism is sometimes important in politics.
