Do you want to use the Internet to petition KCLSU?

e-Petitioner allows you to have your petition live on the Internet, rather than just on paper. This way, your petition and supporting information can be made available to a potentially much wider audience, giving you the opportunity to gather more names to support the petition.

A petition may gather signatures in both forms - you can have a paper version and an online version, although repeat signatures will be removed.

Each e-Petition also has its own discussion forum, where visitors and signatories can discuss the petition and surrounding issues online. There is also space for supporting information, so that you can add any background necessary and put your petition in context.

Your details will only be used by KCLSU and the International Teledemocracy Centre (ITC) who host the e-Petitions System, unless you have given permission for your details to be passed on to the principal petitioner. Your details will not be used for any purposes other than e-Petitioner, unless you have expressly given permission otherwise.
