Welcome to the Direct Democracy Global Network website in development.

By way of introduction, my name is NJ Bordier. I'm a dual citizen of Switzerland -- historic pioneer of direct democracy -- and the United States. I'm the founder of this network, university professor, and inventor of consensus building technology.

The network's purpose is to empower voters beyond Switzerland to use direct democracy practices similar to those Swiss citizens have been using for centuries.

To gain familiarity with the network's features, I recommend several ways to begin:
1. Watch the "Network Overview Video" of 3 minutes by clicking on the link above.
2. View the video "How Switzerland Changed the World" by clicking on the link below.
3. Browse the "Ten Steps to Direct Democracy." Note that you can proceed on your own path without following the steps. For more information, click on images of interest.
4. Tap into the resources of the "International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA)" by clicking above on the "Global Trend Tracker" and its reference to IDEA and list of links provided below.
5. The ElectionGuide provides “the most comprehensive and timely source of verified election information available online” regarding upcoming nationwide elections and referendums around the world.
It provides data on electoral systems, political parties and candidates, and key issues at stake in each election.
