Ministry of Justice: the electronic platform for the collection of digital signatures valid for abrogative or constitutional referendums and legislative initiatives of a popular nature is operational.
The D.P.C.M. (Prime Ministerial Decree) of 18 July 2024 was published in the Official Gazette No. 173/2024 on ‘Certification of the operativeness of the Platform for the collection of signatures for referendums, referred to in Article 1, paragraphs 341 et seq. of Law No. 178 of 30 December 2020’, which provides for the activation of the new digital platform dedicated to the collection of signatures for referendums.
The platform is designed to facilitate the digital signature of abrogative or constitutional referendums and legislative initiatives of a popular nature. Its activation is provided for in the Prime Ministerial Decree of 18 July 2024, published in Official Gazette No. 173/2024.
The system has obtained the opinion of the Italian Data Protection Authority and can be used by the promoters of referendum proposals and by the offices of the Supreme Court and the Chambers to manage all the stages of the process of collecting signatures of supporters in digital format. The system then verifies the presence and validity of the signatures, through interoperability with the National Register of Resident Population (ANPR) system, at the registry offices of the municipalities where the citizens who signed the proposals are resident.
