Allow 16 to 18 year olds to have the vote.

Petition Details

The majority of 16 to 17 year old are leaving or have left school before the Referendum and therefore this vote affects them as well as the
18 years + age group. It is time that we respect these young people's thoughts and votes

Additional Information

On the night of the Referendum a 17 year old made very clear his thoughts on television. They were very sensible and very balanced and these young people should be respected and included
