Recall the UK EU Referendum and allow 16 year olds to vote for their future

Petition Details

The Scottish Referendum lowered the voting age for 16 year olds to decide for their future, why was this not allowed in the UK EU Referendum?

We need to give our younger generations a say, as Scotland did with theirs, and recall the vote for the UK EU Referendum.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The EU referendum has already taken place. It is therefore no longer possible for the franchise (the groups of people who are entitled to vote) to be changed.

If you would like the UK voting age to be lowered to 16, you might like to sign this petition instead:
