You can also cancel your signature in the same way. For a signed petition, there is a "Cancel signature" button instead of the "Sign" button.

Frequently asked questions
What is the use of ePetition?
ePetition provides a convenient option to create, sign and submit a petition electronically. Unlike existing online petitions, the ePetition has full legal binding force, i.e. it is comparable to paper petitions in terms of legislation, and each click on the "Sign the petition" button within the ePetition is considered an unambiguous expression of support for the petition by the authenticated user. The biggest advantage of ePetition is the computerisation of the entire petition process. Setting up, signing and filing can be done from the comfort of one's home and there is no need to deal with paper if you do not want to. Only with ePetition is the verification of every signature on a petition guaranteed and there is a complete absence of fake names or duplicate signatures.
Do ePetition apply only to the Czech Republic?
Yes, according to Act No. 85/1990 Coll., on the Right to Petition, as amended by Act No. 261/2021 Coll., ePetition was created as an addition to the existing possibility of submitting paper petitions addressed to Czech public authorities, such as authorities, public institutions, schools, health insurance companies and other entities listed in the Register of Public Authorities.
How to establish your own ePetition?
In the Citizen Portal, after logging in via the Citizen Identity, you will find the ePetition tab in the SUBMISSION section. All petitions entered into the ePetition system are listed there. At the top, click on the Create Petition button. You can prepare the petition at your leisure, but once you post it, you cannot edit the petition. Any changes would mean closing the petition and starting a new one. For details, see the article on ePetitions. (czech only)
Are ePetitions freely available?
Yes, you can find a list of all petitions on the Public Administration Portal and in the list of petitions on the Citizen Portal. Only in the Citizen Portal can you sign a petition.
How can I submit a saved ePetition?
Once you have finished collecting signatures, you can close the petition and simply send it to the addressee using the databox integrated into the Citizen Portal, or you can download the closed petition to your computer and send it to the addressee in another way.
