Online participation and tools

Many questions arise when selecting a suitable participation platform to support the democratic process: What requirements must it fulfill? Which participation modules should be available? What about accessibility? Is there a user-friendly backend that can be used easily after training? What about hosting? And what costs need to be considered?

During the search and selection process, it is important to know the key requirements, established tools and best practices. Polidia brings extensive knowledge to the table and supports you in the selection and use of various applications. We work in a customer-oriented manner and not only with our own DIALOG BOX participation software. We also implement e-participation via the participation portal of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and with the participation platforms Maptionnaire and Consul.

For the implementation of digital methods and events, we rely on tried-and-tested tools for video conferences, voting and co-creation.
