Petition Action

Abstain vote at general election

Additional Information

Add an abstain vote on all general election ballot papers

This is for any people who which to vote but do not back any of their candidates. Any constituency with a higher abstain vote than a one party candidate must hold a re-election. This would count as a empty seat until re-election had been held. Government would need to have the numbers to form as normal.
