If it introduces changes in the constitution, then the voting has to have a majority in population and cantons (26). For the E-ID they didnt touch the constitution so the canton-majority (Ständemehr) was ignored. If canton-majority would have been required, the E-ID voting would have failed as 18 of the 26 cantons actually said NO to E-ID.

Was canton majority purposely ignored because the E-ID proponents knew that their chances of a win would otherwise have been highly compromised (as it turned out to be)?
