How do countries have more than 100%?
Because people can (and should) sign the initiative even if the threshold for their country has already been reached.
Oh thanks, the chart is labeled poorly. Calling it "percent of support" with a number written on each country very clearly is (mis)stating that the numbers are the percent of the population that support the bill in each country. The chart should be labeled something like "percent of required signatures needed to demonstrate support of the bill"
You need 7 countries and 1m for the thresholds. So people who signed in a 100% country can still add their signature to the total.
