We believe that young people deserve the right to be involved in decisions which affect them, especially if the government thinks they're old enough to pay taxes, get married or fight warsâ€â€that’s why we think the voting age should be lowered to 16 for all elections!

Please put your name to this petition and we’ll add your voice to our call to Government for Votes @ 16…
