Create petition for parliamentary elections

Political parties that have been awarded a list letter by the Ministry of Justice can create an electronic endorsement collection for their candidacies in all constituencies.

• Those individuals who have a power of attorney can log on to Ísland.is under the authority of the political party and create a petition.

• An administrator can be selected within the system, who has access to the collections in all constituencies and can enter the ID numbers of endorsements collected on paper.

• Once an endorsement collection has been established, individuals can log in with their electronic ID and endorse the political party.

• The system creates a link that can be copied and shared thus making it easier for people to endorse a specific political party.

• When a political party submits a notice of candidacy to the National Electoral Commission, it must be stated that the endorsements have been collected electronically. A report on the status of the collection can be accessed in the system.

• Information on the endorsements cannot be copied, disseminated or used for any purpose other than collecting it for the purpose of submitting a candidacy.

The National Electoral Commission is responsible for the processing of personal data processed for the purpose of identifying candidates and the endorsements. The National Electoral Commission's data protection policy.

The deadline for endorsement collection creation has expired.
