Digital Platforms

Inspirational examples

ICLD does not offer any digital solutions for your local government, we however recommed the following:

CONSUL—a digital tool that facilitates civic engagement by connecting citizens to governments
Developed by the City of Madrid and collaboratively supported by a network of individuals and organizations continuing to improve the platform, CONSUL can already be used to share, discuss, and vote on proposals within a PB process, as well as to engage participants in debates, decision-making, and collaborative legislation beyond PB.

If you are interesting in using CONSUL in your ICLD porject, contact for more information.

CONSUL, free software for participation in politics
