This section enables you to vote on Digital Identity legislation (DID). There are 20 statements, half of which supports the motion, and the other half opposes it.

The results of the voting will be passed of to the government as part of the consultation process.
Consensual Debating allows participants to arrive at a decision gradually, in small steps, as their understanding of the problem gets better. Each such step is defined by a simple one line statement on which the participants can agree, disagree or have a neutral stance. As the participants vote they can see the graphs showing them in real time, how they vote against all other participants. After each such voting there is a short deliberation, followed by another vote. The participants can also add their own one line statements on which all others will vote. The voting continues until 60% majority has been achieved on at least one of the statements.
After this voting is complete, you will requested to vote just once on the Final (general) statement DID – F.

Once you have voted, the facilitator would present the result and the report. If you vote on-line without facilitation, then you can see the Report produced every few days. You can then vote again, after seeing how others have voted, which may change your views on some of the statements.
