Rejected petition Geofencing of all future petitions so you can only vote in the UK.

With the recent nonsense that is taking place with regards to external people from outside the UK voting on our petition site we propose to Geofence all future votes so you can only vote from within the UK or its territories abroad.

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 can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. We aren't sure what you mean by "external people".

The current petitions rules allow British citizens to sign petitions, even if they live overseas. You could start a new petition so that only UK residents can sign petitions if that is something you would like to happen.

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

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.
