They would have had a major impact on the result. I believe that reform needs to happen where in future general elections and referendums, 16 and 17 year olds must be able to vote.","additional_details":"75% of 18-24 years old voters chose to remain in the EU. This percentage increased as the age of the voter decreased. This means that there is a very high likelihood that 16-17 year old voters would vote in favor of remaining in the EU which given we have a high amount of people in this age group in the UK, would potentially dramatically change the result of this referendum.\r\n\r\nhttps://twitter.com/edengoodall/status/746230210018717696\r\nhttps://twitter.com/dylanjonesevans/status/746232873565315072\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":5,"created_at":"2016-06-24T13:34:31.456Z","updated_at":"2017-09-09T06:14:04.440Z","rejected_at":"2016-07-05T16:07:09.202Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":null,"response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/119769"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
