Allow 16 and 17 year olds to take part in Democratic votes
16 and 17 year olds are allowed to join armed forces, leave school, leave home, and work full time, but they cannot be involved in Democratic decisions, which is wrong, in my opinion, and many others.
We would like parliament to debate this petition, and vote to allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote. They are MORE than responsible enough to vote, considering what they already are allowed to do. Please sign this petition to help this happen.
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.
