A stratified random sample is the best choice in this scenario as it allows us to divide the population based on the age groups mentioned and then randomly sample within each group. This ensures that we have a representative sample from each age group and can make reliable inferences about voting behavior within those groups. Simple random samples, mechanical devices, judgment samples, and convenience samples may not provide the same level of accuracy or representativeness.
