This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition In any future referendum on EU membership extend voting rights
Rejected on
Voting rights should be extended to include:
UK citizens resident in other EU states
EU citizens resident in the UK
In both categories citizens aged 16 and above
The 2016 referendum was completely unrepresentative of people who would be affected by the result because it failed to take into account the wishes of any of the above.
