UK Parliament Fast-Tracks the “Votes at 16” Bill
658,041 Vol.4 months ago (Apr-01-2026 03:59:00 AM UTC)
DescriptionWill the U.K. Parliament pass and grant Royal Assent to legislation lowering the voting age to 16 on or before 31 March 2026? This Event Outcome will Settle to “Yes” if the “Votes at 16” bill (or an equivalent measure that explicitly reduces the franchise to age 16 for U.K. parliamentary elections) completes all legislative stages in both Houses and receives Royal Assent dated on or before the Event Date Close. If the bill fails, is withdrawn, or remains pending without Royal Assent after the Event Date Close, the Event Outcome will Settle to “No.” The primary source will be the official Parliament bill tracker or Royal Assent notice; reputable outlets reporting the assent may also be used. The Event Outcome is a Prediction on an Announcement from a credible reporting source.
