Lower the voting age by two years to allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote.
It is unfair that young people, who will be affected the most, and for the longest, by political decisions do not have the right to influence their future.
In the recent EU referendum 18-24 year olds were the most likely to vote remain. Over 65s were the least.
This is especially important given the very narrow very margin of victory in the EU referendum.
At the age of 16 you are allowed to die for your country. You should also be allowed to choose the government which sends you to fight.
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:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
