This Council acknowledges the motions passed in the Assembly in November 2012 and September 2024 calling for the voting age to be lowered for 16 and 17 year olds; • Commends both the Welsh Senedd and the Scottish Parliament for already implementing this policy for local elections while recognising that the powers to lower the voting age are not devolved to the Assembly; • Welcomes the British Government’s announcement to extend votes to 16 and 17 year olds for all elections; and • Calls on this Council to write to the British Secretary of State, Hilary Benn, to ensure that forthcoming legislation are enacted in time for the 2027 electoral cycle.
