ConstituciónCDMX (Constitution of Mexico City)
ConstituciónCDMX (Constitution of Mexico City) is an open platform that offers diverse forms of participation to the citizens to refine ideas, reflections, events and proposals around the elaboration of the Draft of the Political Constitution of Mexico City. The platform has two components: a website and 300 mobile kiosks (in order to record the proposals of those who do not have internet access). The site allows you to register proposals in the form of requests on the Change.org platform. Petitions exceeding 5000 signatures receive an official response. Requests that exceed 10 000 signatures receive an invitation so that three representatives of the Working Group drafting the Constitution meet the initiator of the petition and the proposal is submitted to the plenary of the Group. Requests that exceed 50 000 signatures receive an invitation such that the initiator may submit the proposal to the plenary of the Group in person. In addition to receiving proposals, ConstituciónCDMX disseminates information on events such as Congresses, Assemblies and Forums (official and citizen-led), dialogue spaces and reflection on the draft Constitution. Finally, the platform facilitates the organization of citizen meetings and publishes essays and reports on the meetings.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
