Petition · past parliament

Allow ALL British Expats to vote on Brexit in a new Referendum or an Addendum.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

It was wrong to Disenfranchise a large body of British Citizens who have lived & worked Overseas from Voting on an issue that directly & strongly affects us. Initially we were led to believe an exception to the 10 year rule would be made allowing us to Vote but this did not happen.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Give all UK citizens voting rights in a second EU referendum
