Give Britons living overseas the vote in the General Election on 8th June 2017

Petition Details

The government is already committed to changing the electoral law giving British citizens living overseas for more than 15 years the right to vote in UK General Elections. We call on Parliament to ensure that this legislation is enacted in time for the GE on 8th June 2017.
