Deliberative Polling

Deliberative Polling is a research method that combines public opinion polling with informed discussion. It gathers a diverse group of people to discuss important issues after providing them with balanced information. Participants express their opinions before and after the discussions to see how their views change. This approach aims to capture the more thoughtful and informed opinions of citizens, reflecting what people would think if they had the time to fully consider the issues. Ultimately, it seeks to promote deeper understanding and engagement in the democratic process.
