Rejected petition Combine petition votes gained by petitions where the topics are virtually identical

More details

The rules of Epetitions indicate that a petition may be rejected if it substantially duplicates another petition and yet there are currently for example several petitions calling for a referendum on withdrawal from the EU.
Epeitions should combine the votes of those petitions when calculating the total.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
