Rejected petition If a second EU referendum occurs, allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote.

Many things will be affected if the UK leaves the EU, including education and work opportunities-the impact of which will be most felt by the younger generation. Therefore, if a second referendum is held 16 and 17 year olds should be able to vote, as they did in the Scottish independence referendum.
