The digital age demands innovative solutions. Digital democracy is a model that integrates technological advancement with active citizen participation in decision-making processes, enabling more transparent and efficient governance. By utilizing advanced digital tools, such as e-voting platforms and public consultation systems, citizens can have a greater impact on political decisions. These technologies also facilitate faster and more precise collection of public opinions, which in turn leads to policies better aligned with the actual needs of society.

Introducing digital solutions into democratic processes increases accessibility and inclusivity, allowing participation in public debates by individuals who might have previously been excluded. As a result, digital democracy contributes to building a more engaged and informed civil society.

An integral part of this concept of open democracy is the so-called "wisdom of the crowd," which leverages collective intelligence to make better decisions. By allowing a broad range of individuals to contribute their ideas and opinions, it becomes possible to develop more innovative and effective solutions. Open democracy, grounded in the wisdom of the crowd, promotes transparency and collaboration, which leads to greater social trust and improved functioning of public institutions.
