Re-run the EU Membership referendum to include all citizens of age 16 and above
The recent referendum on continuing membership of the EU excluded citizens aged 16 and 17. On a matter of such long term importance to the UK, everyone aged 16 and over should be permitted to vote. This precedent was set in the referendum on Scottish Independence.
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:
