Lower voting age to 16
Currently the minimum voting age is 18, howvever I feel that this should be lowered. As a 15 year old who is involved heavily with politics I feel that a vote at 16 years old would help to prepare people for using a vote wisely.
Not only this but there are many people over 18 who do not have a interest in voting but there are people under 18 who really to want to vote, but can't and this is unfair! I am calling for the government to lower the voting age to 16 and urge you to share this petition if you agree. Thank you.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
