Petition · past parliament

If a second EU referendum was to occur, allow 16 year olds the vote.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

If an all people’s vote for Brexit occurs then the young should be able to vote and shape their future. In the Scottish independence referendum, sixteen year olds were able to vote and I think it should be the same for the uk referendum. We deserve a voice.

Why it was rejected

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

16 and 17 year olds to be allowed to vote in a referendum on the Brexit deal.
