Petition

Do not delay, postpone or cancel Local Elections in May 2025.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government and Parliament to make sure that local elections in May 2025 go ahead in full, we demand that all plans to cancel these elections are scrapped.
Local Elections in May 2025 are being cancelled, especially in areas where Reform UK's support is strongest. We believe that this is an attack on our democracy and we demand that local elections go ahead in full in May 2025.
