Have a second UK EU in/out referendum allowing people aged 16 and above to vote.
The Scottish Independence referendum allowed people aged 16 and above to vote. This set a precedent that should have been followed by the following UK EU in/out referendum. Therefore the latest referendum should be re-run allowing those aged 16 and above to vote.
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:
