Urgently request voting rights to be extended to all UK citizens.

Petition Details

The EU referendum was not open to UK citizens who have lived abroad for more than 15 years. We urge you to give a political voice to UK expats in the case of a second referendum.

Additional Information

We believe that voting is a fundamental right for any citizen including those resident outside the UK who have retained their British Citizenship.
