Closed Declare EU referendum void as 16 & 17 year olds were denied the vote

Closed on

The EU referendum is a significant constitutional event. It will affect the rights and opportunities of all UK citizens for many years to come. The 16 & 17 year old should have been given a vote. The precedent for this already having been established for the recent Scottish Independence referendum.

The size of the youth vote is large enough to have had a material effect on the outcome of the election
