Give homeless people the right to vote

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow people to right N/A on an address if they do not have one allowing them to vote. If the government can do the process justice then this reform is revolutionary
If you don't have a home, you are still a person and under the basic convention of human rights, the right to vote is there clear as day. It also doesn't cause any significant problems as long as it is done correctly

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

People with no fixed or permanent address can already register to vote. The form for people of no fixed or permanent address to register to vote is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-to-vote-if-you-havent-got-a-fixed-or-permanent-address
