Brasil Participativo

"Digital participation is the third and perhaps most significant innovation of the new process under Lula. Through a digital platform, citizens can submit their proposals to the PPA, vote on up to three proposals suggested by other residents and prioritize up to three programs presented by the government. The proposals that get the most votes will be analyzed further. So far, over 2,000 proposals have been submitted by residents and 157,500 votes for the various programs put forward by the government have been counted."
