DECIDECYPRUS is a platform for citizen participation

This guide explains what each of the DECIDECYPRUS sections are for and how they work.

Debates

In the citizen debates section you can present and share your opinion with other people on issues of concern to you related to the city. It is also a place to generate ideas that through the other sections of DECIDECYPRUS lead to concrete actions by the City Council.

  • You can open debates, comment and evaluate them with the I agree or I don't agree. For that you have to register in DECIDECYPRUS.

Proposals

In the citizen proposals section you can make proposals for the City Council to carry them out. The proposals require support, and if they reach sufficient support, they are put to a public vote. The proposals approved in these citizens' votes are accepted by the City Council and carried out.
