BallotPodium, is an interactive forum website launched by Citizens in Charge. The website is a place where both proponents and opponents of particular ballot initiatives are provided a platform – or podium if you will – to voice their opinions. BallotPodium allows public discourse on each initiative or referendum on the ballot in coming elections. The user-friendly and simple layout allows citizens to easily identify the points of view on individual ballot measures.
Citizens in Charge is the only national organization dedicated to preserving the initiative and referendum process for citizens across the country. We seek not only to defend the right of citizens to petition their government but, as a transpartisan organization, we also seek to facilitate open and honest discourse in regards to the measures are on the ballot.
With BallotPodium, we aim to empower citizens to fully use their initiative and referendum rights and make the most informed decision possible when they cast their ballot. Not only is it a central location to find out what measures are on the ballot, but BallotPodium also provides information beyond a simple ballot initiative summary. Interactive online discourse on the measures is highly encouraged
