Participation is the key role of citizens in democracy. It is not only their right, but it is their duty.
Citizen participation may take many forms including:

  • standing for election,
  • voting in elections,
  • becoming informed,
  • debating issues,
  • attending community or civic meetings,
  • being members of private voluntary organizations,
  • paying taxes, and even
  • protesting.

Participation builds a better democracy.
