If you want to have your say on the Northern Ireland Assembly’s current petition procedures, please take a minute before Thursday 18th December 2014 to respond to the Committee on Procedures’ Review.

To show your support for the introduction of e-petitions, please email alison.ross@niassembly.gov.uk.

To make it even easier, we’ve included a draft email that you can copy, paste and personalise if you wish:

“I am writing to express my support for the introduction of electronic petitions to the Northern Ireland Assembly. I believe this would be a valuable mechanism of enhancing the Assembly’s public engagement, providing additional opportunities for people to influence the debate and express their views on issues that matter to them.”

It’s that simple! Please help us to show that there is an appetite for this type of engagement with politicians, and provide another opportunity for people to influence the political agenda. If you’re interested in shaping the democratic debate, then make it happen today. Remember – the review closes on Thursday 18 December so please email your comments today, or contact us for more information about our campaign. Thank you.
