This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Allow the whole Country to vote when electing the Mayor of London.
The election of the Mayor of London has been limited to the votes of only those living in London. As the capital of England, the whole of England deserves to have a say in who becomes Mayor. A large majority of workers commute from outside London. London belongs to the Country, not just Londoners.
