Citizen Initiative Democracy

Citizen Initiative Democracy is a form of pure direct democracy where citizens have the power to propose new laws or to amend existing ones through a process known as an initiative. When a certain number of signatures from registered voters are collected in support of the proposal, it is then placed on the ballot for a public vote. This system empowers individuals to directly influence legislation and governance, ensuring that elected representatives remain accountable to the will of the people. It promotes active civic engagement and allows the electorate to address issues that matter to them directly.
