Tips & Guidance

Title

The title is the first thing others will see of you petition. It should state clearly, what your concern is and invite to read on. Without a striking title your concern may go unnoticed.

Addressed person

Address your political concern to Parliament, which can make a decision about it. At national and federal level, this is the respective Petitions Committee.

Requirement & justification

Clarify the problem. Why does it have to be done NOW? Is a decision coming up? Are facts being created? Make a concrete claim! How do supporters contribute to the solution?

Meaningful picture

The perfect picture sums up your petition at the first sight. A picture can underline your issue, attract attention and motivate people to sign the petition. Petitions with pictures are more spreaded by people than without a picture. You can find them here and here
Make sure you have the rights of use necessary for using the picture.
