P-05-794 Lowering the Voting Age to Sixteen
This
petition was submitted by Sgiliau, having collected 87 signatures online.
Text of Petition
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.
Additional
information:
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.
