Have a 2nd Brexit referendum; 3 years of young voters voices have not been heard

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

After three years of chaos it’s time to start counting the opinion of a generation of young voters who could have not been heard.

Why it was rejected

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

We're not sure exactly what question you'd like to be asked in a 2nd EU referendum.

There are already several petitions calling for referenda of different types. You could sign one of these petitions if it calls for something you want to happen.

You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition, or example:

Give the public the choice for Brexit - No Deal, May’s Deal, or Remain

Second EU referendum with preferential voting: EU deal, no deal and remain

Brexit - Have a democratic vote on 4 options in order of preference.

Hold a binding two-tier referendum on the UK's membership of the EU.

There are also petitions about lowering the voting age for general elections and referenda, which you might like to sign f they call for something you'd like to happen.

Lower the voting age from 18 to 16 for elections and referendums

16 year-olds plus be given a vote in plebiscites relating to leaving the EU.
