Introduce a None of the Above option on UK election ballot papers

Introduce a None of the Above option on UK election ballot papers — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

The Government should amend Schedule 1 of The Representation of the People (Ballot Paper) Regulations 2015 to introduce a "None of the Above" option on election ballot papers.

Additional details

MPs on the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee wrote in its sixth report in 2015 in response to its call-for-evidence that over 70 per cent of respondents wanted a NOTA option. Yet successive governments have failed to take into consideration the recommendations of that Committee or the overwhelming view of voters who want a NOTA option. We want MPs to fully consider this simple change which will encourage greater trust and participation in our democracy.
