Closed petition Allow 17 year olds to vote in future referendums and general elections.
Closed on
Young people in college are not allowed to vote (if they're under 18) which is extremely unfair as it is our own future. It is ridiculous that those who are 65+ have such a say in our future. Ot is undemocratic that we have no say in our future, and it needs to stop. 17 year olds deserve the vote.
