Original Note:
Labeling Digital ID as 'voluntary' can be misleading if it becomes an implicit requirement for essential services. A case in point is India's Aadhaar system, where initially voluntary digital IDs became essential for accessing various public services and benefits. https://jsis.washington.edu/news/the-aadhaar-card-cybersecurity-issues-with-indias-biometric-experiment/
