Modern direct democracy has recently become an important element of political life in many countries. These developments can be observed at the national, regional, and local level of political systems. Participation and democracy in local political affairs play a major role in stabilising and developing democratic systems.

- practice of local direct democracy,

- the contribution of local direct democracy to democratic development in general.
