Allow 16-17 year olds to add their votes to the EU referendum decision

Petition Details

Many young people have passionate views on whether our future is better in or out of the European Union. It is unfair that older generations have a say in a vote which will affect them far less than us whilst we remain powerless.

Additional Information

Allowing 16 and 17 year old voters to have their say in the recent Scottish referendum proved incredibly successful at proving that so many young people have clear views on the decisions they believe their country should be making.
