Hold a new EU Referendum weighted to take account of voter age

Petition Details

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to hold a new EU Referendum where voter age is taken into account. Younger voters will live the longest with the consequences of the referendum so they should have greatest influence on the result.

Additional Information

Voter weighting should be banded by age, an example being: 16 to 29 have 4 votes; 30 to 49 have 3 votes; 50 to 69 have 2 votes; 70+ have 1 vote.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It's not clear how this could be done. Voting in the UK is anonymous. It is not therefore possible to work out which votes would be accorded greater weight.
