Parliamentary Petitions and E-petitions

Petitioning is a traditional way for residents to make a request, directly to the Parliament. A petition is a formal request signed by at least one person and placed before the Parliament, with the object of persuading the Parliament to take a particular course of action. For example, the petition may request the alteration of a particular law or the re-consideration of an administrative decision. Standing Orders of the Legislative Assembly provide for two types of petitions:

paper petitions; and e-petitions.

Information is available on each type of petition, simply by clicking on the names above.

To complete either of these petitions, please see the links below. You can have a paper petition and a e-petition with the same wording on the same topic. E-petitions have a specific closing date though, whereas paper petitions do not.
