Rejected petition Ban all young people from voting

After the EU referendum, young people have cried out unanimously that old people's democratic rights should be repealed based solely on disagreement. Before they can take the human rights of others away, we must preemptively send a message and demonstrate how horrible a loss of a vote can truly be.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

"Young people" is an insufficiently precise term for the purposes of setting a lower age limit for the franchise.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
