Allow 15 - 17 Year Olds to be able to Vote in a 2nd EU Referendum

Closed 111 signatures

What the petition asks

Since the Scottish Referendum in 2014 allowed voters as young as 16 to decide the future of their country, we believe that there should be a second referendum about Britain's EU membership, that allows voters as young as 15 to vote for our future.
Many teenagers and young people were very well informed and very vocal about the EU referendum online, but in the end, were not given a chance to decide our own fate.
