Rate Your Politician
The private sector rates many services like food delivery, hotels and customer service calls. However, we do not rate our elected officials. With Poliforum's reviewing system, citizens participate in democracy by voicing their thoughts and feelings through constructive feedback that is a valuable indicator for these officials. These reviews serve as a feedback loop both for citizens and for the government.
