Allow all ex-pats to register to vote in referendums
I am a UK citizen living and working in the EU and plan to return to the UK in a few years. The outcome of the referendum on leaving the EU will have a massive impact on me and my family but I was not allowed to vote because I have not be a UK resident for over 15 years.
Vote registration for issues that are not local, should be allowed for all UK citizens regardless of their current place of residence.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government has already given a commitment to carry out this change, as indicated in the response to this petition:
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/112142
It is not clear what action you would like the Government to take that is different from what it is already doing.
