Petition Action

Lower the Voting Age to 16

Additional Information

We are campaigning for the voting age to be lowered. We want the voting age to be lowered to 16 because if teenagers have to take on some of the responsibilities of an adult for example, pay tax if they have a job, then they should be allowed a say in how that money is spent and how the country is run.
