Call for a Referendum. Let the country decide on Digital ID Cards.

Petition Details

I want the Government to allow a Referendum on whether to implement Digital ID Cards to the mass public. Labour did not publish this in their Manifesto and Sir Keir Starmer, before last year’s General Election, pledged not introduce this system.

Additional Information

The introduction of Digital ID Cards has the potential for great restrictions on or misuse regarding freedoms and rights of the mass public. There must be a Referendum to introduce such a restrictive system that may have negative and life changing results for everyone.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for the same action: "Hold a referendum on introducing mandatory identity cards in the UK" petition.parliament.uk/petitions/734246
