Lower the voting age from 18 to 16 in General elections
Young people have many of the same responsibilities as adults, being able to get married and to join the army, yet denied the same right to vote and decide their future? They're expected to follow the law, but have no say in making it. They deserve the right to vote on the future of their country
This needs to be enacted in law to secure the future for young people so that they will have their rights and futures protected. There needs to be a new law created and this must be discussed in Parliament for this to happen.
