New petition

Start a petition

Say what should change and why. Once it is live, verified voters decide, and anyone with an account can argue either side.

Start from one sentence

Describe the change you want. Write it however you like, in English, Hindi, Bengali, or a mix. The draft comes back in English and you can edit every word of it.

AI writes the first draft, not the petition. You are the author of whatever you file, so read every line before you publish it.

Title

One sentence, stating the change you want.

The case

What is the issue, and what outcome are you asking for?

Who can vote?

A public petition is open to every verified voter in scope. A small-group vote is limited to people you name, and each of them proves who they are before voting.

Which voters

Every verified voter in the country can take part unless you narrow it. Narrowing is checked against the constituency on each voter's Voter ID, so people outside it cannot vote.

Country

Voter ID petitions are India-wide by default. Voters are checked against the constituency on their Voter ID, which is why this is the one country a petition can currently be narrowed within.

Opening arguments

Optional, and not the last word. Whatever you add starts the argument board — anyone with an account can add their own points once the petition is live, and the points people agree with rise to the top.
