If you're in the EU, you should still sign; extra signatures will be useful if it turns out some of them are invalid.

    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.

    Wait, what happened with the first one?

    After giving such a bad answer to it that some other part of the government stepped in and said the answer was dramatically insufficient.

    I'm not surprised it got a bad answer though. The government was completely dysfunctional by that point (and had been well over a year), I wouldn't be surprised if it was just some random civil servant who was just told to weave a fig leaf at it.

    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? 🤔
