Closed Hold 2nd EU referendum, allowing 16 & 17 year olds in Scotland to vote.

Closed on

The Scottish referendum and EU referendum are linked. 16 & 17 yr olds were allowed to vote in the Scottish referendum. Scotland's position as part of the UK is now uncertain based on the Brexit result. Today's 16 & 17 year olds should be given the same rights to defend their future as in 2014.
