Lower the Voting Age to 15 so 15-17 year olds can vote.

Closed 20 signatures

What the petition asks

I think that people aged 15 and above should have the right to vote in future Referendums and Prime Minister Elections. Young adults are taught in Schools about Politics and the Government so they will have a clear understanding of why and what they are voting for.
