Voters will have the final say on the new e-ID law.
The Federal Chancellery confirmed that over 55,000 signatures were collected.
The "No to the e-ID Law" committee, backed by groups like the Swiss People’s Party and Swiss Digital Integrity, argues the law threatens privacy.
Critics claim the proposal repeats flaws of a similar 2021 plan previously rejected.
The government insists the new e-ID will be public, optional, and secure, enabling digital access to services like driver’s licenses.
A pro-e-ID alliance, led by digitalswitzerland, says it’s vital for the country’s digital future.
If approved, the system won’t roll out before 2026.
