Welcome to WikiProject Democracy! This project aims at improving and maintaining the democratic structures within the Wikimedia movement by:

making them more visible,
making participation in voting, elections, and centralized discussion easier by providing and spreading links,
and building a forum and community of contributors who like the concept of democratic wiki collaboration and cooperation.

You are very welcome to participate!
