  To be clear… If you have already signed, thank you but do not sign again.

  (I know that’s not what you wanted to say, I just want to make sure it’s not misunderstood).

    Does it not stop you from signing multiple times? The UK one tells you you’ve already signed it when you try again. I tried it again recently in case i was misremembering signing the second petition after the first one was misunderstood completely by the uk government.

      Oddly, the EU one just has a checkbox that you need to check to confirm that you haven’t signed before. I’m guessing removal of duplicates happens only after closing, along with other data validation.

      I thought this strange at first too, but I think it’s because of the disparate identification methods in different countries. If everyone had a digital ID card instant checking would be doable, but note it probably isn’t.

        That’s not true. It depends on the country. In certain countries it will tell you if your identification number had been used before.

        For the UK one it’s just tied to your email address to prevent duplicates, and you just input your name and physical address which will be used to confirm you’re actually a citizen.

  I signed with my eID, which went fine, but then the website asked me to log in with my EU account, which I didn’t have.

  Now, did I sign or didn’t I? 🤔

    You should have received an email with a receipt if you did sign. In doubt, sign again; signing twice will invalidate the second signature but not the first (confirmed by EU staff).
