The petitions website will not be monitored between 22 December and 04 January. We will consider petitions and respond to any questions as soon as possible after this date.

Rejected petition Introduce a recall procedure for underperforming AMs as we have for MPs, incorporating by elections.

At present there is no such procedure, which appears a grave oversight in a democratic society and one should be included in the present reform bill.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue, or if the Petitions Committee has considered one in the last year.

Another petition calling for this is already collecting signatures:
Introduce a way for constituents to vote out their MS before the end of their term

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of the Senedd. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
