Originating in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 1989, PB has spread to thousands of cities worldwide and has been adopted by schools, universities, and organizations as a way to make budget decisions more democratic and responsive.<\/p>\n<p>The concept is simple: instead of elected officials or administrators making all spending decisions, community members propose projects, discuss priorities, and vote on how a designated portion of the budget should be allocated.<\/p>\n<h2>How Participatory Budgeting Works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Define the budget: Identify the portion of the budget subject to participatory voting. This might be a specific dollar amount ($500,000 of the capital budget), a percentage (5% of discretionary spending), or a designated fund (the community improvement fund).<\/li>\n<li>Collect proposals: Community members submit project ideas that fall within the budget scope. Ideas might include park improvements, traffic calming, public art, community programs, or equipment purchases.<\/li>\n<li>Evaluate feasibility: Staff reviews proposals for feasibility, cost estimates, and compliance with regulations. Infeasible proposals are returned to the proposer with an explanation.<\/li>\n<li>Present final projects: Viable projects are compiled into a ballot with descriptions, estimated costs, and expected impact.<\/li>\n<li>Community vote: All eligible community members vote on which projects to fund.<\/li>\n<li>Implement: Winning projects are funded and implemented, with progress reported publicly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Setting Up a PB Vote Online<\/h2>\n<p>ElectionChamp is well-suited for the voting phase of participatory budgeting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create the election: &#8220;[City\/Organization] Participatory Budget 2026&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Build the ballot: List each eligible project as a candidate\/option. Include a description, estimated cost, and location\/scope in the candidate biography field.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the voting method:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Option A: Plurality \u2014 &#8220;Select up to 5 projects you&#8217;d like to fund.&#8221; Projects are funded in order of votes received until the budget is exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>Option B: Ranked Choice \u2014 &#8220;Rank all projects in order of preference.&#8221; This finds the projects with the broadest community support.<\/p>\n<p>Option C: Approval voting \u2014 &#8220;Vote Yes or No on each project.&#8221; Projects above a threshold are funded in order of approval percentage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set a generous voting window: 14-21 days. PB votes should maximize participation.<\/li>\n<li>Promote widely: City website, social media, community events, multilingual outreach, library and community center flyers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who Uses Participatory Budgeting<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Organization Type<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Typical Budget<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Common Projects<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Scale<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Municipalities<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>$100K &#8211; $30M+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Parks, roads, safety, public art<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>City-wide or by district<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>School districts<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>$50K &#8211; $500K<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Classroom equipment, playground, technology<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>District-wide or by school<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Universities<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>$25K &#8211; $200K<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Student life, campus improvements<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Campus-wide<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Nonprofits<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>$10K &#8211; $100K<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Programs, equipment, community projects<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Organization-wide<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Housing authorities<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>$50K &#8211; $500K<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Common area improvements, safety, amenities<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>By property or district<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Corporations (internal)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>$10K &#8211; $100K<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Office improvements, team activities, equipment<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Company-wide or by office<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Before the Vote<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Host community information sessions where residents can learn about each proposed project<\/li>\n<li>Create project fact sheets with photos, maps, cost estimates, and implementation timelines<\/li>\n<li>Make all information available online and in print at community locations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>During the Vote<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Offer multiple voting channels: online (email\/SMS notification), in-person (Manual Keys at community locations), and assisted voting for accessibility<\/li>\n<li>Provide multilingual ballot materials to reflect the community&#8217;s linguistic diversity<\/li>\n<li>Monitor participation by neighborhood or district \u2014 target outreach to underrepresented areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>After the Vote<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Announce results at a public event or council meeting with full transparency<\/li>\n<li>Publish complete results: every project&#8217;s vote count, participation statistics, and the list of funded projects<\/li>\n<li>Create an implementation timeline and share it publicly<\/li>\n<li>Report on project completion \u2014 close the loop by showing community members what their votes accomplished<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Measuring PB Impact<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Metric<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>What to Measure<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Why It Matters<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Participation rate<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Number of voters \/ eligible population<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Core measure of democratic legitimacy<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Demographic equity<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Voter demographics vs. community demographics<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Are all communities represented in decisions?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Proposal diversity<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Number and variety of project proposals<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Are ideas coming from across the community?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Implementation rate<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Funded projects completed \/ funded projects total<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Accountability \u2014 did the government follow through?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Satisfaction<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Post-implementation survey of voters and project beneficiaries<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Did PB improve community trust and engagement?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Repeat participation<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Year-over-year voter retention<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Are people staying engaged with the process?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Ready to modernize your organizational voting?
