Rejected petition Open a Polling Station at Glastonbury Music Festival for proposed EU referendum

The 23rd June 2016 is being touted as a potential date for the proposed EU referendum vote. So as to ensure Glastonbury festival goers can exercise their democratic right un-impinged by the clash of dates, it would be ideal for a Polling Station to be opened on the site of the festival.
