Hold elections so people can vote on whether or not they become a sanctuary city

Petition Details

We want local elections held in every town or city before it is designated as a sanctuary area for migrants.

Additional Information

People are not getting the choice on whether their communities will become a sanctuary city or town. This is being decided for them. Local elections need to be held before anywhere is designated as a sanctuary city or town for migrants by a council. This should not be decided by a local council alone. Local communities should be given that decision.

This petition was rejected

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 exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do as we're not sure what you mean by a sanctuary city.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
