Guide: Polis for Participants

Why Are We Using Polis?

How do we create a democracy capable of responding to the poly-crises we see in the world today? Polis is an interactive polling tool. It has been used extensively around the world to help with deliberative and democratic decision making. It’s increasingly being recognised as a valuable add-on to reduce bias in deliberations.

Using Polis can strengthen community assembly processes 'by harvesting the wisdom of the crowd', in other words, by helping us better understand what large groups of people think. Polis can automatically sort the crowd’s preferences or priorities. It produces reports statistically as well as meaningfully, which also allows for transparency of the process.
