International Day of Democracy 2026 🌍🗣️
Democracy grows stronger when every voice is heard, every perspective matters, and institutions remain accountable to the people.
This International Day of Democracy, IRES calls for a deeper commitment to deliberative democracy creating meaningful spaces where people can participate, engage in dialogue, influence decisions, and hold decision-makers accountable.
Because democracy is more than casting a vote.
It is about participation, dialogue, inclusion, accountability, and collective action—every day.
“Let us strengthen people’s participation and accountability through deliberative democracy.”
Together, let’s build a democracy that listens, responds, and works for everyone.
