Rejected petition Ensure that the electoral commission hold an exit poll on the EU referendum.
Rejected on
An exit poll at elections is a vital mechanism that usually gives a fairly accurate indication of the final result. To eliminate accusations of fraud from either side this must be held during the 2016 EU referendum .
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Electoral Commission is an independent body, and not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
