United Kingdom must ensure no government can cancel or postpone elections. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

To uphold the integrity of the United Kingdom’s democratic system, it is vital to remove any possibility of a government cancelling or unduly delaying elections.

Additional details

In a democracy, the people—not the government—decide when change comes. The UK must guarantee that no government can ever cancel or postpone elections to serve its own interests. Strong fixed-term rules and independent safeguards are essential to protect our right to vote and keep power in the hands of the public.
