Rejected petition Local Elections: Introduce Compulsory Voting

More details

I want the voting in local elections to become compulsory.

We all have a stake in our local communities and we all have a role to play in it, however small or large.

Making voting in local elections compulsory would give local Councils more legitimacy and ensure everyone plays a role in the community that they live in.
