Public petition - Petitions
Welcome to a new version of the petition’s website with new features: • From now on, you will need electronic authentication (e.g. LuxTrust) to submit a petition online. • Some rules governing petitions are also changing: a new petition will need 5.500 signatures within 6 weeks for a public debate.
What is a petition?
A petition is a request addressed to the Chamber of Deputies. Any person registered in the National Register of Natural Persons (RNPP) who is at least 15 years old may submit a petition. There are two types of petition: public petitions and ordinary petitions.
Public petition
To qualify as a petitioner, you must:
- Be at least 15 years old.
- Have a Luxembourgish registration number (‘matricule’) (CNS/social security number).
To submit your petition online, you must use a tool that is compatible with eAccess.
Connection using a LuxTrust product (card, signing stick) or an eID card
Connection using a mobile device and the GouvID application
Connection with a digital identity from another European country
If you do not have an eAccess tool, you can send your filled in form by postal mail with prior authentication of signature or submit your petition in person at the Chamber of Deputies (an appointment must be made in advance).
What are the steps of a public petition?
Defend your petition in a public debate
If your petition reaches the 5500-signature threshold, it will be discussed in a public debate. You will be invited to present your case to the relevant MPs and ministers. The public debate will be broadcast live.
