Petition · past parliament

Let 16 and 17 year old people vote in the second EU referendum.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

If a second vote is held for the EU referendum it should include all people who will be affected by the outcome. It seems only fair to include 16 and 17 year old people, as was done in the recent Scottish Independence election.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
