The European Commission announced the formal registration of two European Citizens' Initiatives on 17 July 2026. The initiatives are centred on the policy areas of education and housing. These registrations allow citizens to propose legislative changes to the Commission, provided they meet specific requirements and collect a sufficient number of signatures from across the European Union.

Further details regarding the specific objectives and organisers of these initiatives were released in the Commission's daily news briefing in Brussels. Following the registration, the organisers have a set period to begin the process of gathering support from European citizens.
