Preparation

Principle

• know how you vote during the next election
  • not necessarily for whom but rather what is the process most coherent with your own ideal
  • prepare ahead of the actual voting moment in order to be protected from the overload of information and manipulative techniques
  • share and learn how to leverage new techniques available

Rules

To focus on the process rather than constantly trying to produce bias toward a specific worldview

• no official party allowed, only citizens
• the abstraction of the voting process designed or picked has to be shared back to others
• the voting decision itself does not have to be public
• deciding not to vote can itself
• not following the rules lead to exclusion from the event and its platform

Expected outcome

• a list of voting process coherent to a diverse set of ideals and leveraging all the tools, old and new, available to citizen desiring to be active in a political process

Possible activities
