I just had a brainwave about how to address low voter turnout in local body elections in Aotearoa. Could the solution be liquid democracy?
One reason people don't vote in local elections is that we don't really know who the candidates are. But most of us know at least one person who shares our values, and is really engaged in council politics. What if there was a simple, formally recognised way to delegate our vote to them?
