DEMOS
DEMOS is a digital platform created with the open-source software Democracy OS, which allows citizens to vote projects that are later to be discussed in the Legislature. The projects are proposed by the political blocs that have seats in the legislature, and the number of draft bills that each bloc can present is defined in proportion to their representation. Once the projects are selected, citizens can vote on articles of the projects, leave comments and debate by responding to comments made by other citizens. The three projects that were selected aim to reduce the workday of nurses, regulate the informal economy by prohibiting certain informal jobs, and increase investment in education.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
