This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. It's the responsibility of the police and Electoral Commission to investigate whether electoral law has been broken, and ultimately for the courts to decide.

There are petitions calling for inquiries into the EU referendum campaign and Brexit, which you might like to sign if they call for something you want to happen:
