Why was this petition rejected?

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

Although the European elections in the UK take place on Thursday 23 May. The European elections take place across the EU on 23-26 May 2019.

Counting is done on a country-by-country basis and results are kept secret until all voting is finished. They will be announced from 22:00 pm on 26 May.

The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for when the elections outside the UK take place or when the counting of ballot papers takes place.
