Re-run the EU referendum extending the franchise to 16 & 17 year olds.
Following the Leave vote and an extremely tight result, there should be a re-run of the 2016 EU membership referendum allowing 16 & 17 year olds to vote because it affects their lives substantially and their age group proved mature enough to vote on the Scottish independence referendum in 2014.
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:
