Liquid democracy is an innovative form of representation that combines elements of direct democracy with the traditional representative democracy model. This hybrid system allows citizens to delegate their vote to a trusted representative, or even shift their votes on specific issues to a knowledgeable proxy. Furthermore, the voting process is online and easy to access, making the process of governance for citizens highly convenient and transparent. Liquid democracy thus equips citizens with the power to directly participate in the decision-making of their political systems, while still being able to trust an expert proxy to ensure that informed decisions are made.
