What the petition asks
Many UK citizens living outside the UK were not eligible to vote in the EU referendum held on June 23, 2016. This was inappropriate and unjust as British membership of the EU has a direct impact on these citizens. In a second referendum, all UK citizens must have the right to vote.
UK citizens living outside the UK for more than 15 years did not have the right to vote in the first EU referendum of June 23, 2016.
