Many citizens don’t feel represented by politics anymore. In addition, insufficiently represented groups or people without voting rights are hardly given any opportunities to participate in politics. Tools like smartvote have already done a lot to improve transparency before elections. However, politics cannot always be captured in a yes/no grid or in ratings.

The smartask platform therefore offers citizens the opportunity to address their individual concerns, issues and ideas directly to parliamentarians. The platform thus promotes direct exchange between these two groups and makes an important contribution to a modern, inclusive democracy. With the Prototype Fund, a functional prototype could be developed. The goal is now to add missing features and to advance the launch of the platform step by step.
