Does your country of residence offer an e-ID?
What advantages or fears do you see in this digital tool? As Swiss citizens gear up to vote on a law on electronic identity (e-ID) on September 28, we want to hear about your experience with digital identification systems.
Has your country of residence already introduced such a digital ID tool? Does it make your life easier? Do you have concerns about data security or privacy? In your opinion, should Switzerland follow the same model?

I live in Italy. We have the electronic health record and it is very convenient.__The identity card is physical.__Personally, I would not like it to be digital.__Firstly, I am disabled and have my own problems handling the mobile phone.__Secondly, I do not have total confidence in the security that these innovations give on something so personal.__I have already voted NO.
Vivo in Italia. Abbiamo il fascicolo sanitario elettronico ed è molto comodo.__La carta di identità è fisica.__Personalmente non mi andrebbe fosse digitale.__In primis son disabile ed ho i miei problemi a gestire il telefonino.__Secondo non ho fiducia totale nella sicurezza che danno queste novità su qualcosa così di personale.__Io ho già votato per un NO.
My latest Indonesian residence permit is equal to an electric ID card. I do not need to visit the Immigration Office any more. The e-Residence Permit is sufficient.

There's no point in worrying too much about the security of the system - every week major companies are hacked - your first name first name date of birth postal address telephone number and probably your bank cards are already roaming the web__And to finish off, let's have a laugh - I do a Google search for federal councillor and my inbox is flooded with adverts on how to become president of the confederation in 7 days.
Il est inutile de s’inquiéter outre mesure de la sécurité du système chaque semaine de grandes entreprises se font hacker votre nom prénom date de naissance adresse postale numéro de téléphone et probablement vos cartes bancaires se promènent déjà sur le web__Et pour finir rions un peu je fais une recherche sur Google en tapant conseiller federal et ma boite mail est inondée de publicités comment devenir président de la confédération en 7 jours

Exactly. My wife in Indonesia just got a phone call from fake supposed to be Tax Officials, who greeted her with the correct name. (but the Tax Office already warned of such fake calls). Ah well, is this calle progress? Progress yes, but for whom
India introduced e-ID in 2009 as a project, and it was given a legal status by the Narendra Modi government, which established the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), a statutory authority, in January 2016. The name of the e-ID in India is Aadhaar ID, and now more than 99.9% of India's adult population has this e-ID. Now, all bank, mobile, and other government authentications are done using the e-ID Aadhaar mobile App. The linking of bank accounts and income tax has brought transparency, with government benefits being directly transferred to an individual's bank account. This has become a game-changer in everyday life, especially for the rural masses.

I have been living in Sweden for some time now and have only noticed the positive aspects of an electronic ID. It makes many things easier in everyday life and access to various services is very advantageous.
Ich wohne seit geraumer Zeit in Schweden und stelle nur positive Aspekte einer elektronischen ID fest. Es erleichtert vieles im Alltag und der Zugang zu diversen Dienstleistungen ist sehr Vorteilhaft.

In France, where I live for part of the year, the e-ID is becoming more widespread and for the moment I can only congratulate myself. The rest of the year I live in Morocco in a rural area where it sometimes takes weeks for the mail to reach me. I wasn't able to vote in the last election because I didn't receive my voting papers in time. A few years ago, the e-ID was used (Vaud) and I don't understand why the experiment wasn't repeated.
En France, où je réside une partie de l'année, l'e-ID se généralise et pour le moment je n'ai qu'à m'en féliciter. Je vis le reste de l'année au Maroc dans une zone rurale où le courrier met parfois des semaines à me parvenir. Je n'ai pas pu voter lors de la dernière votation n'ayant pas reçu le matériel de vote dans les temps. Il y a quelques années, l'e-ID avait été utilisé (Vaud) et je ne comprends pas pourquoi l'expérience n'a pas été renouvelée.

It's not too serious. If you have a good address, if you work, if you're well known, there shouldn't be any problem, and with social networks, even less.
Ce n'est pas trop grave. Si vous avez une adresse correcte, que vous travaillez, que vous êtes connu, il ne devrait pas y avoir de problème,et avec les réseaux sociaux, encore moins.
