Completed petition Lowering the Voting Age to Sixteen

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to lower the voting age to sixteen for those elections where they have the powers to do so.

More details

We live in a democratic society in which all members should have the ability to be responsible for their choices in our country. At sixteen you can get married, have a baby, and pay tax. At sixteen you can contribute to the country's economy but are yet to be able to decide how this public money is spent.
