Allow British citizens age 16 and over to vote in the second EU referendum
Rejected

What the petition asks
I believe the EU referendum was unjust as the people it will affect the most did not get a say in their future. During the Scottish referendum, citizens aged 16 and over were allowed to have an opinion over their future and I believe youth in England and Wales should be granted the same right.
