This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Allow a second referendum vote with a purpose to allow 16 & 17 year olds a vote.
Rejected on
Young peoples futures under the EU referendum have been decided by other people voting. No thought of them and what they want. Neither the Remain or Leave campaigns acknowledged what the implications would be for this generation of young people. I ask government to allow 16 & 17 year olds a say.
