Petition If you turn 18 before the end of the academic year you should be able to vote.

Individuals who turn 18 before the end of the academic should be able to vote. As a young person interested in politics born in August, I am extremely disappointed I am unable to vote in the upcoming elections. I am the same maturity as my fellow peers, and I am affected by the outcome equally.

More details

One example I find uncomfortable, is a close peer of mine turns 18 the day after the EU referendum and yet is unable to vote in a decision which is potentially life altering.
