This petition is to have the UK Goverment lower the UK voting age to 16.I believe that if you can own a house at 16 and drive at 17 the you must be mature enough to vote at 16.I think that if it was lowered there would be a higher voter turnout and it would give Youths a boost knowing that they are getting a say on who is running the country because it is there country aswell so please sign this petition to show your support for this topic.
im still getting emails from people saying they feel completely ignored by the current system. its frustrating that we have to fight this hard just to have a say in our own future but the stories you guys are sharing are keeping this moving.

this is getting way bigger than i thought it would and it really shows people are ready for a change. its wild to see so many others who feel like young people deserve a say in their own future.
