experiments in democracy

Experiments in democracy are tests or approaches used to see how different methods of governance or participation work best. Examples include trying new voting systems, implementing local referendums, or experimenting with ways to increase citizen engagement. These experiments help governments learn what improves representation, fairness, and inclusiveness. Like scientific experiments, they involve trying something, observing the results, and adjusting accordingly. The goal is to find better ways for people to have a voice in decision-making and to strengthen democratic processes through innovation and learning.
