# Likwid - Modular Governance Platform # Likwid - Modular Governance Platform
**Democracy Design in Practice** ## Composable Governance Infrastructure
Likwid is an open-source platform for participatory governance, designed to make collective decision-making accessible, transparent, and genuinely democratic. Built for communities, civic organizations, and any group that values structured deliberation over shouting matches. A modular toolkit for deliberation, voting, delegation, moderation, and plugins — configure what you need per community.
Likwid is an open-source platform for participatory governance. Assemble decision-making workflows from modular building blocks: deliberation, voting methods, delegation, moderation, and plugins.
