We're delighted by the recent decision to lower the voting age to 16! We've previously campaigned on this move to broaden participatory democracy and give more British youth a say in their future, so we asked our 16-year-old Head of Campaigns to give us his take on this landmark development!

This is a huge win for youth voices! The voting age is officially being lowered to 16 which is a huge step forward for both youth participation and democratic representation. The future is ours to shape! #Votesat16
