Online Petitions make Government BY the People Work for ALL!
The Denver Post details the inequity of Colorado's ballot initiative petition process. Voters solved this problem in Boulder in 2018 by voting 71-29% to amend our City Charter to allow online petitions for direct democracy, the first in the country, though Arizona has used online petitioning to get candidates on the ballot since 2012. I led the effort as a member of a City elections working group. Boulder's system was used successfully in 2021. Taipei, Taiwan has followed suit. Italy and New Jersey allowed it during the pandemic.
