Give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote in General Elections and Referendums.

Petition Details

Given the large differences between the votes of the old and the young in the EU referendum and the political engagement of young people in the Scottish Referendum in 2014, it is time to give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote and have a say in their future.
