What the petition asks
The Government has recently delayed mayoral elections until May 2028 in Greater Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, Hampshire and the Solent, and Sussex and Brighton.
I want this decision reversed. I believe this is subverting democracy.
Do not delay mayoral elections until 2028.
Do not delay mayoral elections until 2028.
