The results of te project will either be published for a research conference or a technical report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The term &#8220;liquid democracy&#8221; is defined as an alternative form of democracy that contains both representative-democratic as well as direct-democratic decisions. A core element of this approach is the so-called delegated voting principle, in which the voter can decide on an individual basis (&#8220;floating&#8221;) if they would like to cast their own ballot for an upcoming decision, or if they would rather delegate their right to vote to another individual. For instance, this third party may be an expert in the same area the decision concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POLYAS supports Master student Karola Marky&#8217;s research work in the field of liquid democracy with Dr. Melania Volkamer at the Technische Universit\u00e4t Darmstadt.
