Voting booklet

Before the vote, information will be provided! To ensure everyone is equally informed and can form their own opinion, neutral voting booklets with pro and con arguments will be prepared and made available to everyone. The voting booklet is an integral part of the voting process.

HomeParliaments

Before voting, there's debate! House parliaments are private discussion groups that debate a political issue. With house parliaments, we want to enable civic engagement where opinions are formed: at home during family meals, in conversations with friends and acquaintances at cafés, at the local pub, or in the park. Through house parliaments, we aim to make the exchange of opinions and discussions an integral part of referendums.

Nationwide vote

We are convinced that Germany needs more citizen participation. That's why, since 2021, we have been organizing nationwide referendums on pressing contemporary issues ourselves – until referendums are enshrined in federal law. Now the campaign is entering its third phase: Election materials will be sent out in August, voting will take place in September, and the results will be announced in October. With each vote, our numbers grow – join us!

Help us make nationwide referendums possible! We rely on donations to finance voting booklets, election materials, and postage.
