Sortition Democracy

Sortition democracy is a method of governance where officials are selected randomly, similar to a lottery, rather than through elections. This approach aims to create a more representative and impartial political system, as it eliminates biases associated with political parties and campaign financing. In a non-partisan context, sortition reduces the influence of political factions, allowing citizens from diverse backgrounds to participate in decision-making. This can lead to more equitable and fair representation, as each citizen has an equal chance of being selected to contribute to governance, fostering a government that reflects the demographic and social makeup of the community.
