Rejected petition Hold a new vote due to Leave Campaign's "multiple offences under electoral law".

On the day we were meant to leave the EU, Vote Leave dropped an appeal against the Electoral Commission's finding that it committed "multiple offences under electoral law".

As the first vote was pushed by an illegal campaign. Let's have a second vote, that this time is fair.

More details

An Electoral Commission spokesman said: "Vote Leave has today withdrawn its appeal and related proceedings against the Electoral Commission's finding of multiple offences under electoral law, committed during the 2016 EU referendum campaign. We found that it broke the electoral rules set out by Parliament to ensure fairness, confidence and legitimacy at an electoral event. Serious offences such as these undermine public confidence in our system". How can the first vote be allowed to count?
