Rejected petition Allow all Scots to Vote on Independence

More details

Scottish people are being denied the right to have a say on the future of Scotland due to not currently residing within Scotland.

The independence referendum should be open to all Scottish people who are UK citizens and were born in Scotland.

Currently there are 500,000 non Scottish voters allowed to vote in the referendum and 800,000 Scottish born voters who are not.

We call on the Governement to change the terms of the referendum to allow all Scottish born UK residents the right to vote.
