Rejected petition Make voting a legal requirement for all UK citizens.

Following from the EU referendum. Lots of people didn't turn up to vote, and didn't agree with the outcome. If it is a legal requirement for all uk citizens to vote, I feel this will push people of all ages to invest time in the situation, which in turn will have the best outcome for our country.
