Global ranking - Direct Popular Vote   2024

Description The Direct Popular Vote Index measures the extent to which institutionalized mechanisms of direct democracy—such as initiatives, referendums, and plebiscites—are used at the national level. It captures citizen participation in decision-making on specific policy issues through secret ballots, excluding representative elections, recall votes, or informal consultative processes. Higher values indicate more frequent and meaningful use of direct popular voting mechanisms.
