Votes @ 16 "Citizenship"

 

At 16, we can choose a career and pay taxes, leave home, join the armed forces, and make lots of decisions about our future.

At 16, we’ve been taught how to become citizens but we’re denied the chance to put it into practice

At a time when people feel that politics isn’t relevant to them, young people need to be encouraged to take part in democracy, not kept out from it.

It’s time we gave young people the basic right of any citizen – the right to vote.

Join us. Make history.
