Lower the age to vote to 16 and hold a 2nd EU referendum to include this group
This group was wrongly excluded from the first EU referendum. Therefore the vote was flawed. We need a second referendum to include these young people. It is their future, they can serve and marry and yet can't vote. Since the referendum they have shown how passionate & strongly they feel about this
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:
