ban students from voting at university
It was proved that some students voted twice in the 2017 general election. Students should be banned from voting at university and make to travel home to vote if they want to vote.
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure how the ban would apply to students who go to university in their "home" town. We're also not sure how it would apply to students eligible to vote in UK elections, but whose "home" is outside the UK.
The Electoral Commission is responsible for looking at voter fraud. You can find out more about it here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking to change the law so that students can only register to vote in one constituency.
