Power is in your hands "Your vote is taken into account in the Council of Bogotá"
The campaign "Power is in your hands. Your vote is taken into account in the Council of Bogotá ", is an initiative of the Seamos.co platform, designed to bring the proposals of the councilors of Bogotá to the citizenship. The representatives subscribed their proposals on the platform to be known and voted online by the citizenship, with the commitment to act as decided by popular vote, which was signed in a non-binding document agreed between Seamos.co and the representatives. In this way, the aim was to promote a vote of opinion on the proposals presented in the Bogotá Council and, ultimately, to activate conversations on different topics, to affect in a more direct manner the decisions taken in the Council and to strengthen democracy.
