Rejected petition Hold an additional referendum for 16 & 17 year olds to vote on the EU question.

On such an important question, it is vitally important that those likely to be most affected by the decision are given a vote. This precedent was set in the Scottish referendum where 16 & 17 year olds demonstrated themselves to be some of the most engaged and informed of the electorate.
