In systems of direct democracy, the entire citizenry is given franchise in deciding public policy. This differs from systems of republican and representative democracy, in which citizens vote only to elect representatives and on specific initiatives or plebiscites for which public referendum is approved.
This category includes both sites which advocate the complete replacement of representative democracy with direct democracy, and those which seek to expand the use and scope of referenda and plebiscites in making public policy.
