A community-governed infrastructure that ensures trust through the exploration of diverse perspectives.
”Democracy needs infrastructure that anyone can use, modify, and improve.” — Audrey Tang
Why Voxit?
Voxit is a European implementation of Polis, specifically adapted to align with EU democratic values, GDPR data protection standards, and high accessibility requirements. It is a participation tool where thousands of people can engage in digital discourse to explore policy themes through statements they contribute themselves.
- Scalable Engagement: Supports everything from small-scale community participation to cross-border conversations involving thousands of people.
- Citizen Assemblies: A proven tool for supporting assemblies by involving broader groups in the online deliberation process.
- European Collaboration: Voxit EU unites national and local initiatives to share learnings, best practices, and open-source code.
Building Uncommon Ground
Meaningful deliberation creates new shared understanding. It isn’t just about compromise; it’s about a richer, collective perspective that emerges from engaging deeply with diverse views.
Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)
Voxit aligns with the UNDP’s definition of Digital Public Infrastructure—a set of shared digital systems that are secure, interoperable, and governed by public rules to ensure equitable access and respect for human rights. Voxit is designed as open-source software that users can deploy on their own infrastructure or use as a managed service.
- Open Source: Users can deploy Voxit on their own infrastructure or use it as a managed service.
- Interoperable: Built to connect seamlessly within the growing European ecosystem for digital participation.
- Civic Tech Core: Aligned with initiatives like the EU Civic Tech Hub to connect projects and public institutions across Europe.
