Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. Elections in the UK are overseen by the Electoral Commission which is independent of both Government and Parliament. Elections are run by independent Returning Officers (ROs) based in each local authority area.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
