Liquid Democracy
Status: In-Evaluation
Voters have proposed a United platform addendum—the institution of a fluid voting mechanic built into the party operations (and interface).
Citizens choose trusted proxy-voters—unelected personal representative(s). Proxies can be any registered voter in the same district—friends, family, reporters… even legacy politicians. Ideally their politics align and they actively engage in party votes.
Why delegate proxy voters?
If at the close of any vote, the citizen has not personally cast their vote, it is then automatically registered inline with their designated proxy.
This allows voters the option of passive democratic representation (like our legacy system).
This proposal is intended to maintain consistently accurate district representation in lieu of consistently active district engagement.
Important notes:
Participation is voluntary and at-will.
Participation does not affect voters’ ability to directly.
Proxy representation can be changed at any time.
Proxies might have proxies of their own, whose votes ladder up the same way.
