Petition Change petitions rules, so only people with NI numbers are eligible to sign.

This is a petition to change the rules for online petitions.

The change should make it mandatory to be 16+ and to use a National Insurance number to be eligible to sign the online petitions.

More details

I have started this petition in regards to recent petitions online that have swayed decision making in parliament and have even made the news headlines.

Making it mandatory to provide a NI number will stop this process from being abused.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
