Let 16/17 year olds be able to vote in the General Election

Petition Details

17-year-olds should be able to vote as they were not able to vote in the EU referendum. Only the legislation process is what will stop this from happening. This is where we step in. If we can fight for our country by joining the military at 16, why can we not be able to fight for our future?
