Petition Decide now to make the 2021 elections all-postal whilst there is still time

In light of the ongoing pandemic, please urgently change the May 2021 elections to being all-postal whilst there is still sufficient time to do so without sacrificing any of the existing security measures including signature and date-of-birth verification.

More details

Postponing elections again because of the pandemic is undesirable for our democratic process; compromising election security around postal voting at late notice is equally undesirable for the integrity of our elections; leaving the matter into February or March would be too late to move to postal voting without compromising electoral integrity because it’d realistically be too late to securely gather the usual signature and date-of-birth verification details. Action in January is essential.
