Deliberative Polling
Deliberative Polling is a method of public consultation that combines polling with informed discussion. It gathers a representative group of people to learn about a specific issue, engage in discussions, and then express their opinions. This process helps participants understand different perspectives and the complexities of the topic.
After deliberation, participants complete a follow-up survey to measure any changes in their views. The results provide valuable insights into public opinion, reflecting a more informed stance than traditional polling methods. This approach aims to enhance democratic decision-making by fostering informed citizen engagement.
