HomeParliaments
House parliaments are meetings where a question is debated. They take place where opinions are formed: at home during family meals, in conversations with friends and acquaintances at a café, at the 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 are a reality. So join us again this year!
