Allow a 2nd EU referendum lowering the voting age to 16 in the U.K
There was a key group of people who were not able to vote today, 1.5 million in fact. The Election is looking very close to call. If you are aged 16 or 17 and were unable to vote yesterday but wished that you could have. It is not fair that people under 18 couldn't decide their own futures
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:
