In November 2024, the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) will be officially registered with the European Commission. This step involves submitting the initiative's proposal and getting approval to start collecting signatures.

→ Start Voting Period (February 2025)
The voting period for the ECI begins on 1. February 2025. This marks the start of the campaign where citizens across the EU can begin to support the initiative by signing online via a central EU page. The link will be available as soon as the voting starts.

→ Campaign and Voting Period (January 2025 – December 2025)
From January to December 2025, the campaign and voting period will be in full swing. During this time, the goal is to gather at least one million signatures from citizens in at least seven different EU member states, represented by the National Organizing Members.

→ End Voting Period (2026)
The voting period will officially ends on 30. January 2026. All collected signatures will be submitted for verification to ensure they meet the required thresholds.

Once the signatures are verified, the ECI will be presented to the European Parliament and the European Commission. They will review the initiative and start the procedure of negotiation and implementation.
