Civic Lottery

A civic lottery is a system where a random selection process is used to choose citizens for specific civic roles, such as jury duty or public office. Instead of electing or appointing individuals based on popularity or wealth, a civic lottery aims to promote fairness and equal representation by giving everyone an equal chance to participate. This approach can enhance democratic engagement and ensure diverse perspectives in decision-making. By drawing lots, it fosters a sense of civic responsibility and can help reduce barriers to participation in governance for those who might feel excluded from traditional electoral processes.
