Commission a third party to redraw voting constituencies with equal populations.
Currently the population in constituencies changes meaning the value of your vote across the county varies in parliament. Redrawing the constituencies to be more equal would make voting more fair in elections. Since the process can effect the outcome of elections a third party should be responsible.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The redrawing of constituency boundaries is already the responsibility of independent, third party bodies called Boundary Commissions, and they are currently undertaking the sort of review you propose in your petition.
There is a Boundary Commission for each part of the United Kingdom and information on their work can be found in the links below:
