Allow 16 year olds the right to vote in all U.K. elections

Petition Details

With the year of young people taking place in 2018 we wanted to launch our ‘votes for 16+’ campaign which aims to achieve the right to vote for all those over the age of 16 in the UK. We believe it is absurd for 16 year olds to pay tax and have the right to marry whilst denied the right to vote.
