Implement Annual Referendums for Voters on At Least Twenty Points
The Issue
The state of our democracy calls for an upgrade, one that will bring in more citizen participation. This petition urges implementation of annual referendums, which will allow voters to have a say on at least twenty significant matters. As per direct democracy norms, this practice can amplify the voice of every citizen, breaking the stronghold of representative elites. A study by the University of Michigan in 2019 showed that public referendums increased transparency and government accountability manifold(times). Furthermore, Switzerland's successful use of referendums since 1848 bolsters this demand. By signing this petition, we can push our representatives to welcome more participation and diversity in decision-making. Let our democracy evolve - sign this petition for annual referendums on at least twenty points each year.
