    • About Us

    HEALTHY DEMOCRACY IS A US-BASED NONPARTISAN NONPROFIT THAT WORKS TO ELEVATE EVERYDAY PEOPLE IN PUBLIC DECISION MAKING.

    We use democratic lotteries to empower new voices and guarantee representation across our many diversities. And we design deliberative processes that prove a more collaborative politics is possible. We partner with governments, nonprofits, and other organizations to bring together Lottery-Selected Panels that tackle our most difficult policy issues –­ from housing to health care.

    We created the groundbreaking Citizens’ Initiative Review (CIR) – the first modern lottery-selected process to be institutionalized in the United States (in Oregon state law in 2011). The CIR convenes Lottery-Selected Panels to investigate ballot measures and write clear, concise, and accurate voter information, removed from campaign messaging and financial influence.
