Petition Save Our Democracy: Reverse New Rules that would Disenfranchise Millions

Our government is planning to take away the vote from 10 million people with its new voter registration process. You must sign up by December just to stay on the electoral roll.

The changes will disproportionately affect ethnic minorities, renters, disadvantaged, older, disabled and young people.

More details

The issue isn't party politics, it's about abuse of power.

Whatever your political stripes this issue affects us all.

Voter disenfranchisement is common in the US, with underrepresentation among marginalised groups.
