Why?
wasn't the many months long lead up to it long enough?
Aren't these people already registered to vote... you know, for stuff like local elections, General ones etc.
Is it really that hard not to expect the 'under 40's' - bless them to manage to do that all by themselves without the helping hand of 'we'll do it for you automatically'
If people care enough about their future or politics, they need to get up off their ass and onto their hind legs and do something about it - all by themselves...
We don't (quite yet) live in an amazing automagical word for Gen Snowflake.
Nor should we, people need to engage because they care, if they don't then too bad for the little darlings - they have a voice,they just need to use it.

On reflection you're right it is a stupid idea, far smarter for us to stick with the kind of politics that leave 5 million voters with 1 mp, that gives the elderly the loudest voice at the expense of everyone else and means that millions of votes might as well not be bothered to be cast unless you happen to live in a marginal seat, yes that would be the far smarter thing to do indeed.

Honestly, if that is the kind of reasons for people voting to stay or leave, then God help this country when that generation run to be PM of the UK.

Better that reason than rabid xenophobia for instance
