VOTER GUIDE TO THE DIRECT DEMOCRACY GLOBAL NETWORK

Empowering Voters as Consensus Builders and Peace Makers

Prior to activation of the Direct Democracy Global Network, illustrations below describe how voters can play decisive roles as consensus builders and peace makers. They can use expanded direct democracy tools and practices pioneered in Switzerland to accomplish the following:

Build consensus across partisan lines.
Exert determining influence in electoral and legislative processes and outcomes.
Decide who runs for office, who gets elected, and what laws are passed.
Create fully functioning democracies.
Reverse the global weakening of democratic institutions.

The network can also be used by a range of political actors, including electoral candidates, political parties, and electoral coalitions. Their supporters can freely access the network to autonomously define and share their political and legislative priorities. They can collectively set and enact common legislative agendas, by determining who runs for office, who gets elected, and what laws are passed.

(The network's historic inspirational roots in Switzerland and Geneva are described here: Direct Democracy Global Network)
