Petitioning the Assembly
The Assembly Commission has upgraded its e-petition system to make it more accessible and user-friendly.
The new system requires signatories to register on the site, giving their name and e-mail and postal addresses before they are allowed to sign and submit petitions. Once users have registered and activated their accounts, they will be able to sign petitions with a click of a button.
As not every subject raised by a petition can be answered or addressed with a yes or a no, the new system will also allow them to debate a petition on our e-forum.
They will also e-mail all signatories with updates on the progress of petitions, so they willl know when it is being discussed by the Assembly’s Petitions Committee, and view the debate on Senedd.tv.
