Allow children over the age of 11 to vote on Brexit

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The next generation will have to cope with the result of Brexit, and so should be able to vote on it.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what you mean by "vote on Brexit". At the moment, there is no further public vote planned on the UK's exit from the EU. You could start a new petition asking for a new public vote on the UK's exit from the EU, and for people over the age of 11 to be allowed to be allowed to vote in that process.

You'll need to give your full name to start a petition.
