Rejected petition Allow 16-17 Year Olds to Vote In Future National Votes (ie.General Election).

Following On From the EU Referendum I feel it was a total injustice that the young people that the Referendum affects the most are unable to vote on their future. This petition aims to give 16 and 17 Year Olds the legal right in the future to vote in all national votes, such as the General Election
