Public petition - Petitions
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 login tool, you can send your completed form with a notarised signature by post or hand it in personally at the Chamber of Deputies. To do so, bring your identity card and go to the reception of the Chamber of Deputies between 9am and 5pm from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). Outside these hours, you will need to make an appointment.
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.
