Overview
- The draft would enable the national population registry (ANPR) to issue a digital electoral card to registered citizens, with possible IT‑Wallet integration to be determined.
- Interior Ministry decrees due within 12 months would define technical specifications, usage rules, and limits on paper copies at polling stations after required consultations with the digital transformation department, the data watchdog, and the State‑Cities Conference.
- Electronic identity cards issued at age 70 or above would carry 50‑year validity and be usable for international travel, with an option to renew after ten years for authentication needs.
- Existing CIEs held by those who were already 70 at issuance would remain valid beyond the ten‑year expiry only for identification within Italy and in dealings with public administrations.
- The package is financed under the PNRR and assigns technical work to Sogei, also scrapping the ten‑year POS receipt‑keeping requirement, routing ISEE data via INPS, and proposing Intercity rail liberalization with a new rolling‑stock access company, with the draft expected to go to the Council of Ministers in the coming weeks.
