Rejected petition Votes at 16

More details

The signatories of this petition support Votes at 16 years old.

If this petition passes we would like the Government to introduce a Bill to Parliament giving 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote in all elections.

Further to this, we would like the Government to instigate a public referendum should the Bill be rejected by Parliament so the electorate may decide.
