Lower the voting age to 16 for the whole of the United Kingdom.

Petition Details

Scotland was the first country in the UK to officially lower the voters age to 16. This led to one of the highest voting turnout in the history of the nation. If the rest of the UK follows through with this idea, Britain has the opportunity to become an even greater haven for democracy.
