Programs — Overview

Programs & Activities

Foundation programs focus on four interrelated functions: educating the electorate, conducting online voting referenda, turning results into commitments, and feeding it all back into research.

Function 1

Education

Electoral choices that govern the nation deserve honest preparation. The Foundation assembles fact-based options to meet national needs and aspirations, developed by teams of foremost subject-matter experts with vision and knowledge.

Function 4

Research

District referenda double as laboratory platforms for interdisciplinary applied political technologies, with results feeding back into further studies.

Information sciences · political science & economy · decision theory · sociology · socio-economics · voting schemes and ranked choice · behavioral science · neuropsychology · psychometrics · survey & polling methodologies · theory and practice of representative governance

Function 2

Online voting referenda

Referenda on legislative, executive, and regulatory reforms, conducted in these categories:

  • Systemic government integrity measures
  • Equal justice under law
  • Allocating national resources: managing the national debt & deficit
  • Budget priorities for expenditures & revenues
  • Singular policy & issue choices
  • No-confidence votes on conduct in office
Function 3

Referenda implementation

Results only matter if officials answer to them. Implementation means commitments and accountability:

  • Secure officials' advance commitments to constituent referenda results
  • Disseminate referenda results publicly
  • Scorecard and watchdog: monitor and report officials' compliance
  • "No Confidence Referendum" on elected officials

The programs live in communities.
