Abstract
AbstractCivic engagement is increasingly becoming digital. The ubiquity of computing increases our technologically mediated interactions. Governments have instated various digitization efforts to harness these new facets of virtual life. What remains to be seen is if citizen political opinion, which can inform the inception and effectiveness of public policy, is being accurately captured. Civicbase is an open‐source online platform that supports the application of Quadratic Voting Survey for Research (QVSR), a novel survey method. In this paper, we explore QVSR as an effective method for eliciting policy preferences, optimal survey design for prediction, Civicbase's functionalities and technology stack, and Personal AI, an emerging domain, and its relevance to modeling individual political preferences.
