Democracia en Red

Digital Consultations is a platform designed to encourage citizen participation, allowing debate and interaction between government entities and society on various topics. Its adaptable design facilitates its use by both state agencies and civil society entities, promoting an inclusive space for discussion and collective decision-making. Developed by the NGO Democracia en Red, Digital Consultations has been successfully implemented in various contexts, from local governments to international initiatives, demonstrating its ability to collect opinions, votes and comments on issues of public interest. This tool becomes a vital bridge between citizens and institutions, contributing significantly to the strengthening of democracy by promoting active and conscious participation.
The platform addresses the challenge of limited public participation in democratic processes. Traditional mechanisms often fail to engage a broad spectrum of society in policy debates, leading to policies that may not reflect the diverse needs and opinions of the population.
Online platform for public debate and voting. Collaborative tools for policy development. User-friendly interface for broad accessibility. Options for diverse forms of participation. Real-time feedback and discussion forums.
Built on the DemocracyOS framework, it integrates technologies such as JavaScript, Stylus, Pug, and CSS for web development. Utilizes Python and Jinja for server-side logic, ensuring a robust and scalable architecture. Adopts the GNU General Public License V3.0, promoting openness and collaboration. Supports multiple participation options, facilitating its implementation in various contexts.
