People ages 18-20 years old only received the vote in 1969, people before this believed they were too uneducated to vote. Young women aged 21-29 were denied the vote in 1918 despite their contributions to the war, as they were seen as much more emotional than older women. Today there is a campaign to give 16 and 17-year-olds the vote. In the 2014 Scottish referendum, 16 and 17-year-olds were allowed to vote as it was recognised the result would affect their lives.
