Current status: Rejected
Rejection code: duplicate (see below for details)
Hold a 2nd EU ref. for 16 & 17 yr-olds, combining the results with the original.
Prior to the referendum, a petition held on this very website on the issue was rejected by Government after receiving over 13,000 signatures.
It is unacceptable and repulsive to refuse those who will be most effected by the referendum the right to vote; they indisputably deserve a voice.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
