Rejected

What the petition asks
The mess the UK is currently in is partially due to a third of the electorate not voting in the EU 2016 Referendum, and the last General Election. Compulsory voting would give us all an accurate account of the nations wishes and the "will of the people"
The Govt needs to impliment E-voting to really make this work
