Democracy at a Distance

Democracy at a Distance refers to ways citizens participate in democratic processes without being physically present, often through digital means. This includes online voting, virtual town halls, and digital platforms for civic engagement. It aims to make participation more accessible, allowing people to influence decisions and stay informed regardless of location. While expanding engagement, it also raises challenges like ensuring security, privacy, and preventing digital divides. Overall, it’s about leveraging technology to maintain active, inclusive democratic participation beyond traditional, in-person methods.
