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.

Thank you for your e-petition on the issue of capital punishment. Following the launch of the site, some duplicate e-petitions were erroneously added to the site.

Following a review, this e-petition has been identified as a duplicate of an existing e-petition (https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/1090) as set out in the Terms and Conditions. It has been closed to new signatures and moved to the 'Rejected' category visible on the site.

It is not possible to transfer signatures automatically from a rejected e-petition to an alternative, however if you have signed an e-petition which has subsequently been rejected, you are able to add your signature to an existing open e-petition

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

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