Voting from abroad is broken. Help us secure your rights.
A new law currently before Parliament fails millions of British citizens living overseas by ignoring critical flaws in the system.
We are campaigning for a fair solution, and we need your help.
The problem
Of overseas postal ballots arrived in time to be counted in the 2024 General Election. The postal voting system is archaic and unfit for purpose.
Despite promising to "modernise" elections, the Government's new Bill ignores the recommendation to implement a reliable voting system for overseas citizens.
Excluded
From automatic registration using government and local council data, leaving British citizens abroad with the burden of manual declarations.
Denied
Dedicated representation through overseas constituencies, like in France, Italy and many other countries.
Improvements such as downloading and printing ballot papers to bypass outgoing postal delays, halving the transit time.
Establish secure polling stations at British Embassies and Consulates to ensure safe and timely ballot return.
Create dedicated MPs to represent the specific needs and interests of the British diaspora.
Don't let your voice be silenced. Write to your MP today and demand they support amendments to help British citizens abroad. Tell them:
1. You are a constituent living overseas, and include your last address in the UK.
2. The current postal voting system disenfranchises you (share your own experience of late or missing ballots if you have one).
3. You urge them to support amendments to the Representation of the People Bill that guarantee overseas voters a reliable way to vote, such as electronic ballot distribution or embassy voting.
Together, we can ensure we are no longer treated as an afterthought.
