Rejected petition Provide legislation to give 16+ year olds the vote in future referendums.

Referendums often affect young people more than the rest of the population, and when it has been tried out with 16 and 17 year olds in the past (the Scottish Independence Referendum) it often enthused many young people. Please sign to give younger people the voice we deserve!
