“Everything has changed around our lives — the way we connect with each other, the way we communicate, the way we work, even the way we fall in love – except the way we govern ourselves, as a society.”

DemocracyOS is an open-source application for online decision making. The organization’s goal is to enable more responsive and transparent communication with government using modern technology.

Santiago Siri is the president of DemocracyOS.
