https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/_en, This is the initiative I am talking about. You have to prove you are an EU citizen and then you can sign for the initiatives you want and if a million signatures are reaching within a year then it must be brought to the EU commission.

So if citizens of EU member states can sign online, why can’t they vote online for elections or referendums? If possible, this would decrease the need and power of representative democracy and move closer to direct democracy, which I argue is a good thing

    There is something people here didn’t mention yet, the vote is secret for many reasons, one of them is that you can’t get a receipt that you voted for one party and then use that to get paid or rewarded.

    By voting online it’s not possible to keep the vote secret as there are always ways to prove without a doubt for a certain party.
