Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
- Young Canadians aged 16 and over need to be able to vote in all federal elections;
- Sixteen-year-old teenagers can be very well informed of how government works and why they should vote for someone to represent them; and
- Teenagers will be the most affected by the decisions the elected government will make, and they deserve to have a say in what will affect their future.
We, the undersigned, CItizen of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to amend the Canada Elections Act to lower the voting age from 18 to 16.
