Over 1.5 million 16 and 17 year olds are currently denied the vote in the UK. For years we have wanted the opportunity to have our say. Now the case for lowering the voting age is stronger than ever. So let’s make ourselves heard!
16 year old's are considered mature enough to leave school, go to work, pay taxes and national insurance, etc, they are certainly mature enough to vote.
It will encourage youngsters to vote in future elections!
