HM Government to extend EU referendum voting rights to all UK residents
Rejected
19 signatures
What the petition asks
Many people who don't have British citizenship work, pay taxes and contribute to the UK society. They should have a say in the future of this country.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Now that the EU referendum has taken place, the franchise (the rules about who is eligible to vote) cannot be changed.
