At Parliament all MPs will get to vote on whether 16-year-olds can got to the ballot box in the general election.

In the past hour the Prime Minister's anounced the government will draft a new law lowering the voting age to 16 following a Supreme Court ruling today.

In the historic decision, the Court declared the voting age of 18 to be discriminatory to 16 and 17-year-olds. Sixteen-year-olds are able to leave school, learn to drive, get a job and pay tax.

The 'Make It 16' group argued 16-and-17-year-olds also make adult decisions and preventing them from voting until 18 was unjustified age discrimination.
