Allow EU citizens with “settled status” to vote in general elections

Closed 332 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to allow people who have obtained settled status to vote in general elections.
People who have been given full settled status have already been in the country for at least 5 consecutive years. This is long enough for them to have experience of different policies and understand how the government works.
