About People's 40

A CIVIC PLATFORM
FOR THE KENDRA.

People's 40 is designed to help citizens become informed participants before, during and after an election.

Principles

Small enough to test. Serious enough to challenge.

The project is intentionally being developed in public, beginning with a single Kendra prototype.

Citizen first

The Kendra is organised around citizens' ability to understand, question and participate.

Evidence first

Facts should be sourced and dated; opinion and citizen testimony should be clearly distinguished.

Non-partisan civic space

The platform can support electoral information without telling citizens whom to vote for.

Transparent

Methods, sources, corrections and feedback should be visible.

Five-year view

Democracy does not end when votes are counted.

Test before scale

KK is the proof-of-concept Kendra.
