Introduce rules to regulate material & claims made in any election / referendum

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Currently there are no powers to regulate or enforce campaign material, and holding people to account for false information being used. We require law / legislation to be passed to stop this happening, and introduce a regulator to oversee campaign material.

Why it was rejected

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

This petition has been rejected because we think its similar to this petition which are already been started: Create an independent authority to fact-check political campaign materials.
