Who has time to vote on everything?

More on the benefits of the liquid democratic system. (proxy representation)

With liquid democracy, voters choose how involved they want to be. A voter could simply, ‘set it and forget it’ like our current system and assigntheir votes to a proxy representative.

Proxy representatives are unofficial, unelected active users. Every member would have the option to choose any other district voter who they trust, a friend, activist, politician or expert. Voters could review their proxy’s votes made on their behalf, and change them at any time.

Liquid democracy is a bit like our current representative democracy system. Except voters are not tied to a representative for 4 years, or an entire party-platform.

Engage directly or indirectly, with the option to override or change delegates at any time.

When voters want their vote back—they can just take it. No delay or permission needed. When specific bills or issues are of particular interest, members can engage on those subjects/votes. While still trusting their proxy representation when members do not engage.

• Vote tallies are reliably documented without disclosing users’ personal information publicly.

• At the close of the public input (before the official representative’s vote) the United platform would check voter IDs that haven’t engaged. If those voters have assigned proxy representatives, their votes are then automatically cast to mirror that proxy.

• This way every voter is represented, even when they do not vote.

• This would reduce the chance for district misrepresentation or vote-manipulation.
