Rejected petition Ensure Brits in Europe have their choice of vote counted for EU membership
Rejected on
Most British citizens living in the EU would vote to remain but many did not have their choice counted and feel they were wrongly prevented from expressing their choice of vote.
How many citizens living and/or traveling in Europe did not request and/or return ballots that express their choice?
In only two brief conversations I have already heard of more than half a dozen people who need to remain in Europe to continue their new free British lifestyles but who were not permitted to vote.
Even where the formal rules permit them to vote, the actions of election administrators, ballot distributors, advisors, or other parties prevented them from returning a ballot containing their choice of vote.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
