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

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
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.
Democracy Citizenship Centers put education, voting, and relief programs under one sustainable roof.
