Support the Votes at 16 EDM
NUS has added its support to a new Early Day Motion (EDM) calling for the House of Commons to lower the voting age for all elections to 16.
EDM 2198 "Enfranchisement of 16 and 17 year olds in Jersey" call for a lowing of the voting age to 16 in line with reforms in Jersey and the Isle of Man.

EDM’s are formal motions to the House of Commons calling for fresh debate on an issue. To get some tips about how to lobby your MP to support the motion check out this Citizen 16 briefing (pdf, 240Kb).
