NEWVOTE IS MAKING TRUE DEMOCRACY EASIER BY PUTTING IT IN EVERYONE'S HANDS. We've built a democracy institute and app in response to the lowest levels of trust in government (as an institution) and confidence in democracy (as the best form of government) in recorded history.The app features wikis, tools for direct and deliberative (well-informed and reflective) democracy, crowdsourcing, multi-featured data and a policy-comparison tool.Our aim is to enable inclusive, informed, transparent and secure collective decision-making — to increase both the amount and the quality of public engagement — in efficient and adaptable ways.Our senior leadership is made up of Dion McCurdy, freelance lawyer and Adjunct Associate Lecturer at UQ, Dr Ron Levy, Associate Professor at ANU, and Chris Saad, former Head of Uber's Developer Platform.There is a massive opportunity to use technology to make the way we do democracy better. We have created an equitable and informed ‘democracy as a service' model. This ensures our independence and long-term financial sustainability as an independent nonpartisan institute.We provide a marketplace service for people and their leaders — both community and government — which is focused on issues, solutions and actions. Whether you're involved with your school's P&C, a multi-national organisation or a national government, we can help you.Our vision is to see communities and governments address issues, implement solutions and take actions in an agile way.The University of Queensland Student Union is piloting and promoting the app with its 52,000 students, starting on 24 July. Many other communities are also following suit.The app contains information and tools to help you engage with the issues in your community that matter to you.The app is also a community engagement platform, for any type of organisation, business or group.
