Leave our democracy to chance in the future?

This event will be held in German.

As part of the project DECiDe – Digital Identity, European Citizenship and the Future of Democracy, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society is currently developing an electronic instrument for conducting secure and cost-effective opinion polls and polls. It is a random sampling system based on digital identities. We want to show that these random samples represent a real added value for participation processes, because they can lower the hurdles and costs of direct participation.

In January, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society is conducting a field test at several lectures of the Institute for Computer Science and the Faculty of Law at Humboldt University, to test the technical components to be used in the context of a test poll for the following question:

Are random-based opinion polls and voting a useful mean to bridge the gap between citizens and their institutions?

We would like to discuss the insights gained with students and interested parties afterwards and therefore invite you on
