Rejected petition HM Government to extend EU referendum voting rights to all UK residents

Many people who don't have British citizenship work, pay taxes and contribute to the UK society. They should have a say in the future of this country.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Now that the EU referendum has taken place, the franchise (the rules about who is eligible to vote) cannot be changed.

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