HomeParliaments
House parliaments are meetings where an issue is debated. They take place where opinions are formed: at home over a family meal, during conversations with friends and acquaintances in a café, at a local pub, or in the park. With house parliaments, we want to make the exchange of opinions and discussions an integral part of referendums.
Nationwide vote
With ABSTIMMUNG21, we organized the first nationwide referendum in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2021. And we won't stop until nationwide referendums become a reality. So join us again this year!
