Allow 16 and 17 year olds the vote in any further referenda on EU membership.

Petition Details

With Scottish 16 and 17 year-olds likely to participate in an independence vote as a direct result of Brexit, pegging the EU referendum voting age to more trivial citizenship rights such as drinking and betting is inappropriate. School leavers should have their say on a decision of this magnitude.
