Rejected petition Upon another EU referendum being held, lower the voting age to 16

At the last Scottish Referendum, 16 and 17 year olds were able to have their say on something that would affect their futures. The voices of many young people were not heard during this EU referendum and I call upon the Government, in the event of further or another referendum, to allow us to vote.
