Regulation 116 Requirement to provide fresh signature following rejection of a postal petition statement: England and Wales and Scotland

This regulation applies where an absent signer is notified under regulation 115 (notification of a rejected postal petition statement) that the signature on the postal petition statement with which they were issued does not match the example held on the personal identifiers record, and the person continues to be shown on the record kept under regulation 51(4) as signing the petition by post.

Where this regulation applies, the registration officer may require the absent signer to provide a fresh signature for the personal identifiers record in accordance with regulation 59 (the personal identifiers record).
