Lower franchise to 16 years & extend franchise to overseas citizens for life.

Petition Details

Young adolescents should be accredited as contributing valuable life experience which may help evolve adult society and should therefore be entitled to vote. British expatriates are not eligible to participate in UK elections beyond 15 years abroad, this restriction should be repealed.

Additional Information

Lowering the age of franchise would put Britain at the vanguard of franchise reform and show recognition to the enormous contribution youth culture brings to Britain.
The Overseas Electors Bill 2017-19 was unsuccessfully brought before Parliament as a Private Members Bill. However, there is extensive support for franchise reform to abolish the 15 year rule.
