Implement online voting for general elections and referendums in the UK

Closed 39 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like for people to be able to vote online as well as in person for general elections and referendums in the UK. Procedures would need to be put in place to ensure everyone is only able to vote once, either in person or online.
We believe that implementing online voting could help reduce the cost of elections, and increase voter turnout by making it easier to vote, especially for those with disabilities that make voting in person challenging, and for young people, who were the least likely age group to vote in the last general election.
