16-17 year olds MUST have a Brexit vote (like Scottish referendum). #MakeItFair
48% of the country voted to remain in the EU. BBC reporting suggests that there is a significant age and educational bias in the voting. The youth of the UK will have to live with the decision of 52% of the country for the rest of their lives. 16 and 17-year-olds must have a say.
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:
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:
