The OECD Deliberative Democracy Database is a compendium of representative deliberative processes and institutions from all over the world originally published in 2019 and first updated in 2021. The cases included meet the following criteria: 1) Deliberation: Minimum of one full day of face-to-face, online, or hybrid meeting; 2) Representation: Group of randomly selected citizens stratified to be broadly representative of the community they intend to represent, and 3) Impact: Commissioned by a public authority. While we aim to gather all the existing cases, we acknowledge that this compendium is not an exhaustive list. The data collection consisted of an open call for submissions, rounds of consultation with the OECD Innovative Citizen Participation Network and desk research.
