Public vote on future euro banknote designs runs until September 21
European citizens have until September 21 to vote on ten shortlisted design concepts for future euro banknotes. The European Central Bank launched the public survey to collect preferences through its dedicated web portal.
Ten shortlisted themes on the ballot
The European Central Bank (ECB) has launched a public consultation regarding the visual selection for the future series of euro banknotes.
Euro area residents and the broader public are invited to review ten shortlisted designs and cast their votes directly on the dedicated page of the central bank website.
The online consultation is scheduled to remain open until September 21. Banca d'Italia published the announcement to notify the public of the ongoing selection process and direct interested participants to the relevant voting resources.
The platform provides direct access to all ten finalist designs, enabling voters to evaluate each option and submit their preferences before the official deadline.
Digital voting across the euro area
Participation in the design selection takes place entirely online through the ECB web portal, where detailed presentations of all ten shortlisted design proposals are made available for review.
National central banks, including Banca d'Italia, are supporting the outreach by directing the public toward the official survey interface.
The consultative exercise establishes an open voting window that concludes on September 21, after which the collected responses will be evaluated.
Symbolism over policy substance
Public surveys on banknote aesthetics provide useful civic engagement for the Eurosystem.
Yet design polls have no impact on monetary policy or structural cash usage trends.
The vote is positive for institutional visibility, but remains purely symbolic.
