Let 16/17 year olds vote in the elections that takes place In the UK.

Petition Details

I am currently doing citizenship GCSE. For part of my exam I have to make a campaign. me and my group chose to do campaign on voting at the age of 16. as we are turning 16 now we think more young generation should be allowed to get involved in their country.

Additional Information

I personally think the young generation do not get their voices heard by the government as they think they are not mature enough and know too little of politics.
