Rejected petition Change E-Petitions to allow people to sign against proposals
Rejected on
I love the idea of E-Petitions but when I see petitions like bringing back the death penalty, I would like to sign against it. I understand this is not a voting system but just having signatures for the proposal is a little one sided.
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.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
