WikiLegis Act (Proposed)
A Law Institutionalizing a Wikipedia-Style Platform for Drafting Proposed Laws
The WikiLegis Act establishes a publicly accessible, Wikipedia-style online platform where citizens, legal experts, government officials, and civil society groups can collaboratively draft proposed laws. Every edit is tracked with full transparency, and discussions are held in a separate “Talk” section for consensus-building.
The platform shall be managed by an independent, non-partisan board composed of representatives from universities, civic organizations, and IT professionals. All users must register with verified identities to ensure accountability while encouraging open, diverse participation.
Submitted proposals that gain a specified level of public support (e.g., 10,000 verified endorsements) shall be formally transmitted to Congress or relevant local legislative bodies for review and potential enactment.
This law redefines democratic participation by turning ordinary citizens into co-authors of legislation, bridging the gap between public voice and actual lawmaking. It promotes transparency, civic education, and responsive governance using the power of collaborative digital tools.
