Rejected petition A 2nd EU Ref must permit all to vote

16 and 17 year olds and EU citizens were allowed to vote in the Scot Ref but were not allowed to vote in the EU Ref. Many expats were also denied a vote on Brexit because they had lived outside the UK for too long.

A 2nd EU Ref must allow these people a vote.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure whether your petition is asking for a second referendum, or whether you're just asking for more people to be able to vote if there is a second referendum.

We're also not sure exactly what you mean by "must permit all to vote". It's clear that you'd like people over 16 and British citizens living abroad to vote, but we're not sure if you'd also like other groups of people to be able to vote.

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