RxC Voice: From Election Insights to Action

In keeping with our goal and promise to make the RadicalxChange Foundation democratically governed and accountable, the RxC team built a new participatory governance application called RxC Voice, combining liquid democracy, online deliberation, and quadratic voting. Having just concluded the first instance of this large-scale collective decision pilot, here are the results for the question posed: ‘What activities should the RadicalxChange Foundation prioritize in 2021-2022?’

The experiment ran from May 17th to June 8th, 2021 and was structured in three foundational stages: (1) Delegation, (2) Deliberation, and (3) Election. Prior to the event, the RxC Foundation team put out an open call inviting members of the community to take part in the pilot. Out of around 150 who requested to take part or were invited, 68 signed up and participated in the process by delegating voice credits to fellow representatives, engaging in a democratic conversation via Polis, ratifying the resulting ballot curated by RxC Foundation, and prioritizing the ballot’s 54 proposals in a quadratic vote. In the end the democratic process ran smoothly and resulted in actionable and valuable takeaways.
