Who Does Not Have Right to Vote in UK General Elections
It is more than 5 hours General Elections in the United Kingdom have started. However, there are people, who will not cast their votes, as they have no such right.
As BBC writes, the members of the House of Lords, nearly 800 people, are barred from voting. People serving jail sentences and anyone found guilty in the last five years of corrupt or illegal election practices also have no right to participate in the elections. As for the EU citizens living in the UK, they also cannot participate in the general elections, but together with the members of the House of Lords can vote in the local elections.
