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 get started:

1. View the Network Video of 5 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 for Direct Democracy. Note that you can proceed on your own path without following the steps. For more information about each step, click on the URL link.

4. Review voters' priorities worldwide by clicking on the link below.
