Paper petitions

If you send us, or present a petition to us you will receive an acknowledgement within ten working days of receipt. This acknowledgement will set out what we plan to do with the petition.

We will treat something as a petition if it is marked as being a petition, or if it seems to us that it is intended to be a petition.

Paper petitions can be sent to Democratic Support.
