Review rules to protect voter freedom and ensure secure UK elections

Open for signatures 74 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to set up a review of current electoral rules to ensure every vote is cast freely, securely & in secret. We believe it should strengthen polling station rules, tighten postal voting safeguards while keeping access for those who need it & review who should be eligible to vote.
Concerns have been raised by election observers, courts, and regulators about undue influence, inconsistent polling station enforcement, and postal ballot vulnerabilities. We believe a review of who should be eligible to vote, including non-British citizens, alongside safeguards, staff guidance, transparency, and public awareness, will ensure every vote is cast freely, securely, and in secret.
