## What it is
DemocracyOS is an open-source web platform for online deliberation and voting on political proposals, aimed at more open and participatory government. It was developed by Democracia en Red and deployed with governments and activist groups across Latin America and Europe.

## Use cases
- run online public consultations for a city government
- let citizens debate and vote on legislative proposals
- manage a participatory budgeting process online
- host deliberation forums for a political party
- crowdsource feedback on draft laws
- track government goals with citizen feedback

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted civic participation platform for deliberation and voting
- you are a government, party, or NGO running public consultations or participatory budgeting
- you want a proven open-source e-democracy tool with real-world deployments to study or fork

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with security updates - the project is explicitly unmaintained
- you need a lightweight polling widget rather than a full deliberation platform
- you are not prepared to self-host and maintain a legacy Node.js application

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, auth, templating
- domain: e-government, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted
