Rejected petition Combine votes for similar e-petitions
More details
I want to Government to combine similar e-petitions and combine the vote numbers and NOT just delete them.

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
