This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition An immediate second referendum on EU membership with 16-18 y/o votes permitted.
This referendum is far too important to not include those who will live with the result for the longest. There is precedent in the Scottish independence vote for 16-18 year olds to vote. Parliament must revisit its debate on this matter before we can agree the result is truly the will of the people.
