The Janša government thrives on chaos and public apathy, which is why it keeps pushing harmful laws through one after another. We won't let that happen. That's why we've built Power to the People, a website that gathers all the current referendums, legislative proposals and other citizens' initiatives in one place. See how you can back them and help get them over the line. This website is in Slovenian.

Every citizens' initiative needs support from a large number of people right from the start, and there's very little time to collect signatures. That's why we at Danes je nov dan have put together a guide to help you find the option that suits you best for setting up a digital signature, such as smsPASS. The guide is for anyone whose working hours, distance or health make a trip to the administrative unit difficult, and for anyone who simply wants to make the process easier. Only by joining forces can we stop these harmful laws. This app is in Slovenian.

The new coalition wanted to amend the legislation so that it could use parliamentary investigations as a weapon to settle scores with the opposition, journalists, trade unions, civil society and other critics. Civil society responded by collecting signatures for a referendum, and at Danes je nov dan we have prepared an interactive guide with information on the various ways to submit a signature – from submitting it in person at an administrative unit, to arranging a digital certificate and signing online. This app is in Slovenian.

As the new coalition slowly took shape, the first policy battles were already being fought in the National Assembly. To ensure you do not miss key developments, we updated Parlameter, allowing users to track the work of the MPs in the 10th assembly. Check out how they vote and what they discuss!

You can test your knowledge of elections and the most amusing democratic mishaps in this pre-election quiz. Every day from 1 March until 22 March, users were able to answer three questions to flex their democratic muscles, and were encouraged to invite their family and friends to join in. This app is in Slovenian.

In the general election on 22 March, you chose the future. Political parties had widely differing manifestos and priorities, so the Izvoli.si voting quiz was designed to help you find the one that aligned closest with your views. It featured 30 of the 130 demands compiled by the Voice of the People (Glas ljudstva) initiative and presented to the political parties standing for election. Parties were able to state their positions by either committing to these demands or declaring their disagreement. This app is in Slovenian.
In cooperation with the Voice of the People initiative.

The March 22 general election determined the makeup of the National Assembly and the country’s direction for the next four years. Knowing that many would be away on election day, we once again prepared a voting guide detailing various ways to cast a ballot. It was intended for everyone who was elsewhere in Slovenia, abroad, or unable to reach their polling station for health or other reasons. We provide these guides because we want as many people as possible to participate in decisions that significantly impact their daily lives. This app is in Slovenian.

For the referendum on the Voluntary End-of-Life Aid Act, we created a simple map of polling stations for early voting. The map displayed all such polling stations across Slovenia, and voters could click on the nearest one to find out more about it. The map of polling stations for early voting is one of the online tools we use to actively encourage voters to fulfil their civic duty.

OMNIA polling stations, which allow voters to cast their vote outside their home constituency on election Sunday, are organised throughout the country. To encourage participation in the referendum on the Voluntary End-of-Life Aid Act, we created a simple registration guide for this type of voting and a map to help voters find their nearest OMNIA polling station.
29. October 2025
As is our tradition, we prepared a guide on the different voting methods for the referendum on the Voluntary End-of-Life Aid Act, aimed at everyone who couldn't make it to the polling stations on November 23rd. The guide was designed for citizens living abroad, people with disabilities, and those who were in other parts of Slovenia on election day. In short, it was for anyone unable to vote in the standard way. We produce these election guides because we believe in the importance of political participation and actively encourage it.

The online quiz Manipulation is not information helps users identify rhetorical tricks commonly found in media and politics. Every day in October, the site features a high-profile statement, tasking visitors with identifying the manipulative technique being used. Additionally, the website serves as a guide that breaks down eleven of the most common rhetorical tricks, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to better understand the mechanisms of persuasion and deception.

The installation of the local version of Parlameter in Zagreb was carried out with the Croatian organisation Gong and the support of the Zagreb City Assembly. Citizens now have clear and user-friendly access to information about the workings of city politics and key decisions that affect their lives, without the need to sift through countless documents. We are proud to have launched Parlameter for the twelfth time, working with a growing number of local communities who recognise the importance of openness and transparency.
In cooperation with Gong.

After successfully supporting two rounds of participatory budgeting, we continued our collaboration with the Municipality of Medvode for a third cycle, using the open-source platform Consul. For projects in 2025 and 2026, the municipality will allocate up to 400,000 euros. Once again, residents aged 15 and above will be able to submit their ideas and vote on them. This continues the practice of actively involving the local community in shaping a municipality that reflects their needs.

Using the open-source platform Consul, we supported the Municipality of Ankaran in implementing participatory budgeting. Residents turning 15 or older in 2025 were invited to propose projects worth a total of 100,000 euros and vote on which ones should be carried out. This way, we strengthen the role of citizens in deciding on their shared future and promote the development of projects grounded in the needs and ideas of the community.

Using the open-source platform Consul, which enables easy online submission, tracking, and voting on proposals, we supported the Municipality of Celje in implementing participatory budgeting. Citizens were invited to help decide how 250,000 euros from the municipal budget will be spent across eight local areas. Each area will receive 30,000 euros, with an additional 10,000 euros dedicated to youth-led projects by residents aged 15 to 29.
