Those aged 16 or 17 on 23 June 2016 should be given a vote on the EU referendum.
As with the Scottish referendum in 2014, British citizens aged sixteen or above on the date of the referendum should be given a say in the future of their country and its future relationship with the rest of Europe.
Article 50 should not be invoked until their opinions have been heard.
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:
