Let 16 and 17 Year olds vote in the upcoming EU Referendum.
At this current time, the voting age is 18 years old. I feel as if this should be lowered for the upcoming referendum. This vote is extremely important as it decided whether or not this country stays in the EU, which will have a massive impact on this country.
16 and 17 Year olds are very mature these days. I'm sure they would take this vote seriously. Many adults these days do not take the vote seriously. This would be a great chance to lower the age, as this decides the future of our country, and I'm sure people of this age would love a say in the country that they will grow up in!
