Link the number of signatures to the number of eligible voters.
Signature numbers for popular initiatives and referendums have been in effect since 1977. Back then, 100,000 signatures corresponded to 2.7 % of eligible voters; today it is about 1.8 %. With e‑ID and e‑collecting, gathering signatures will soon become even easier. The new proposal is that the thresholds be a fixed share of eligible voters: 2.5 % for initiatives, 1.25 % for referendums. This way, popular rights remain equally weighted across generations.
