[New Person]

Scottish lawmakers have voted to seek a new referendum on independence, to be held within the next two years.

The Scottish parliament voted 69-59 to back First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's call to ask the British government for an independence vote.

Sturgeon says the Scottish people must be given the chance to vote on their future before Britain leaves the European Union.

Scotland formally requests referendum, U.K. plans to deny it

Scotland's Nicola Sturgeon has formally requested a second referendum on Scottish independence.

The first minister sent U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May a letter Friday formally requesting the transfer of powers to allow a second vote.

The letter followed a 69-59 vote in the Scottish Parliament this week in favour of asking for an independence referendum. The Scots want the vote to take place between autumn 2018 and spring 2019.

Sturgeon's letter says "the people of Scotland must have the right to choose our own future — in short, to exercise our right of self-determination."

Britain's government has said it will deny the request.
