We feel that, in England, the voting age should be decreased from 18 to 16 years. This should law should be legalized for a wide range of reasons, including the fact that it will most likely increase turnout. The voting age should be reduced to provide consistency between the age a person can vote with the age they can marry, have children, and join the armed-forces (which is 16). If you agree, then please sign this petition now!

I believe very strongly in this because I am a young person who wants to go into politics as a profession and I want a say in what goes on.
