Lower the EU referendum voting age to 16 and over

Petition Details

Everyone aged 16+ should be given the right to vote on their country's future in the EU.

The referendum will be pivotal in shaping these young people's future, who are free to travel, study & work within the EU. They deserve a say in whether these opportunities will be available in years to come.

Additional Information

Those aged 16 & 17 voted in the Scottish referendum where they engaged passionately with ~75% turnout.

This decision may not be reversed after the next election or in our lifetimes so it's vital those aged 16+ can vote.

We are not the first to petition on this topic (http://tinyurl.com/pxc3khs).
