Initiative de Citoyens

Initiative de Citoyens (Citizen Initiative) is a process that allows ordinary citizens to propose new laws or changes to existing laws directly to the government or legislature. If enough people support the proposal—by collecting a required number of signatures—it can be put to a national or local vote. This system empowers citizens to participate actively in shaping laws and policies, fostering democratic involvement outside of traditional political channels. It is used in several countries to promote civic engagement and ensure government responsiveness to public concerns.
