We proposed to empower the citizen through technology so he could get informed,
debate and vote every day.
We created a system with 2 elements. An online app & another one offline: a new kind of political party.
The candidates of The Net Party are committed to always vote according to the decisions made by citizens online.
We got 22.000 votes, around 1.2% and were the 2nd most voted local force in the city of Buenos Aires.

We were the first political party to do collective financing in latinamerica through the site ideame.
We developed DemocracyOS where citizens can get informed, debate and take the decision
they want their representative to make.
!
The Net Democracy Foundation develops and provides support so other parties can adapt the app and use it.
An active community of developers contribute to the free and open source code at
github.com/democracyos
We are preparing a global campaign on Kickstarter to collectively finance the development of DemocracyOS.

And we had a great impact on
national and international media.
We presented our idea at the World Economic Forum (Davos), World Justice Project (The Hague),
Transparency Camp (Washington) and over 30 conferences in Latinamerica.

Met with Prime Minister of the UK; received a letter of support from US Supreme Court, Justice Kennedy; and
our app is used by democracy activists in Tunisia.
It’s all just getting started! !
The received support was key to achieve all the goals we have set for this year.

We have a long road ahead! !
We are looking for office space (or co-work) for a team of 5 developers and good internet access.
We need to maintain a full-time staff:Executive direction and project management.
Three senior engineers for DemocracyOS Research teams.
