Petition Details

Social media has said to have found multiple signatures from all different countries - you should only have a say if you are currently fully resident in the UK.


You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

Under the rules agreed by the House of Commons, anyone who is a UK resident or British citizen can sign a petition, including British citizens living or serving overseas.

We already monitor petitions to check for fraudulent activity. We use a number of techniques, automated and manual, to identify and block signatures from bots, disposable email addresses or other sources that show signs of fraudulent activity. We also monitor signing patterns. For security reasons, we don’t tell people when their fraudulent activity has been unsuccessful.

We don’t comment in detail about the security measures, but all petitions are subject to checks as part of due diligence and any concerns investigated.

You could start a new petition to change the rules to prevent all people with an IP address registered overseas, including British citizens, from signing petitions if that's something you would like to happen.
