A proposal
Everything starts with a concrete proposal – with its price and the arguments for and against. It has a time frame and a threshold for when the result counts. You can also propose things yourself.

01 / The problem
One cross every four years is too blunt.
You get to vote once every four years. You vote for a whole package – not on the individual issues. Afterwards you can’t change anything.
Three things are wrong: it happens too rarely, it is too imprecise, and you can’t take your mandate back.
It isn’t people who are too complicated. It’s the system that is too old.
02 / The shift
From election day to a continuous signal.
A proposal opens. People answer. A signal emerges. The direction becomes visible while the issue is still alive.
While we build, the signal is already live. We use it to hold politicians and media to what people actually think – and if you join, the signal reaches the 2030 election.
03 / Four steps
How your answer becomes a mandate.
You answer
For, against or unsure. You can change your answer for as long as the proposal is open.
The signal
The answers are combined into a visible split of for and against – in real time.
The mandate
When the threshold is reached, a mandate emerges that everyone can see and check. Folket’s MPs vote in Parliament the way the majority voted in the app.
04 / The protocol
Six rules. Known in advance.
If a system can’t be explained clearly, it can’t earn trust. Trust isn’t decoration. It’s construction.
Your answer is yours.
No one can see how you voted. Only the combined signal is visible. One person, one answer per proposal – and as little data as possible.
The direction is public.
The split is open. The mandate can be read – not claimed.
No one changes the rules mid-way.
Threshold, time frame and format are set before a vote opens.
Issues, not packages.
You vote on concrete proposals. No manifesto, no party line – only your answer.
Pass your vote on.
To someone you trust, on the issues you don’t want to decide yourself. You can always take it back.
When you want.
Vote when there is something to vote on – on what matters to you. Not everything at once every four years.
05 / Road to 2030
Not an opinion poll. A plan.
The signal is only the first step. The goal is for the people’s voice to have a seat at the table – literally.
20,000 email sign-ups
Folket is a concept with a working prototype. When 20,000 people have signed up by email, we know the interest is there.
Folket becomes eligible
Then we start collecting voter declarations, signed with MitID. With around 20,000, Folket can stand in the general election. Not with career politicians, but with MPs who have signed up to vote as the people vote.
Your vote in the chamber
Folket’s MPs vote in Parliament exactly as the majority votes in the app. Open, verifiable and without backroom deals.
The timeline depends on support – that’s the whole point.
06 / Who’s behind it
A system. Not a face.
Folket is an independent Danish initiative. Who built it matters less than whether the rules are fair, the answers are encrypted and the signal is visible.
Questions, criticism, collaboration or press – write to hej@folket.app. We answer ourselves.
07 / Economy
No donors. Only you.
No ads. No party subsidy. Everything is paid for by the people who believe in the project – today all work is voluntary.
Our best estimate of what it takes to build the app, register the party and get the word out is around DKK 500,000. The aim is to be funded by many small contributions, like Wikipedia – with open accounts. See the budget (Danish) →
08 / Folket Global
One system. No borders.
The biggest questions – climate, AI, migration, capital – cross borders. Democracy stops at them. Folket starts in Denmark, because something has to work in practice before it can spread.
Working on democracy across borders? Write to global@folket.app.
09 / Try it
Six current issues. Two minutes.
The app is in Danish for now. Answer for, against or unsure on six current issues in Danish politics – anonymously and without logging in.
