Votes at 16 in all Elections

I am 16, and I have just cast my first ever vote in the Scottish Independence Referendum as did 100,000 other 16 and 17 year olds. It is vital that we continue this fantastic engagement by extending the franchise to all 16 and 17 year olds for every election - starting with the General Election in 2015.

The British Youth Council have led a coalition of organisations to deliver Votes at 16 - you can check out the website at http://www.votesat16.org/.
