Rejected petition To lower the legal voting age limit to 16 years old.

In light of the recent EU referendum, which will greatly affect the future of this country, young people under 18 were totally unrepresented. This is despite the fact that political affairs will greatly affect them and their futures. Therefore, people 16 and above should get the vote, to have a say.
