Switzerland to Introduce Digital ID Cards After Razor-Thin Referendum
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/09/29/switzerland-to-introduce-digital-ids-after-razor-thin-referendum/
Digital identity cards are set to be introduced in Switzerland after voters narrowly approved a referendum on Sunday.
Despite the majority of the cantons voting against the e-ID legislation, a razor-thin majority of 50.39 per cent of the Swiss public voted in favour of introducing digital identification, Blich reported.
Voters had previously rejected a similar effort in 2021; however, after Swiss lawmakers backed the creation of a digital ID, signatures were quickly gathered to put the measure back before the people in a referendum on Sunday.
It remains to be seen if this will be the final word on the matter, with opponents calling for another vote given the incredibly narrow result.
Not liking this one bit.
