Abolish the Electoral Commission!

Closed 664 signatures

What the petition asks

The Electoral Commission is meant to be independent. However we believe it has been partisan in its decision making and they treat some individuals differently to others, particularly over the issue of Brexit.
The reputation of the Electoral Commission has suffered after accusations of political bias in the conduct of its investigations. We believe that it is time to create a new independent body to replace the discredited Electoral Commission.

Abolish the Electoral Commission now!
