Petition Change the day General Elections are held from Thursday to Saturday

We want the Government to change the day that General Elections are held from Thursday to Saturday.

More details

We believe this would give more people the chance to vote as some people may not be able to get to the polling stations, for example if they work long hours or work in another place to where their polling station is.
