Abstract

Participatory democracy aims to make democratic processes more engaging and responsive by giving all citizens the opportunity to participate, and express their preferences, at many stages of decision-making processes beyond electing representatives. Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in participatory democracy systems, enabled by modern information and communication technology. Participation at scale gives rise to a number of algorithmic challenges. In this seminar, we addressed these challenges by bringing together experts from computational social choice (COMSOC) and related fields. In particular, we studied algorithms for online decision-making platforms and for participatory budgeting processes. We also explored how innovations such as prediction markets, liquid democracy, quadratic voting, and blockchain can be employed to improve participatory decision-making systems.
