Description
In this session, we will discuss two digital democracy tools—pol.is and Quadratic Voting—and show participants how they can use these tools to aid decision-making processes in their own communities.
Hopes & dreams
We hope that these tools will be helpful to groups who are looking for ways to deliberate at scale, navigate polarized issues, and efficiently identify areas of agreement that can serve as fertile ground for healthy conversations and compromise.
