Virtual Congress
What is it?

Virtual Congress is a web platform that encourages citizen participation in the legislative process, allowing users to learn about bills, comment and vote on them, and participate in consultations. This digital tool facilitates debate and the formulation of laws, offering a simplified and accessible interaction. Created to democratize access to legislative processes, Virtual Congress improves transparency and encourages citizen participation in the creation of laws. This collaborative approach helps incorporate the public voice into legislative decision-making, making the process more inclusive and representative.
