Give 16 year olds the chance to vote in local and general elections.

Petition Details

Despite 16 and 17 year olds in the UK being able to work, drive a vehicle, get married or even join the armed forces they are still deprived of the right to vote. Lowering the voting age would give the youth a fair say in matters such as education or employment and will make the UK more democratic.

This petition was rejected

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.

We cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/104603

You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
