In direct democracy, citizens participate in decision-making by voting directly on specific issues or policies rather than through elected representatives. This can occur through referendums, where the electorate votes on proposed laws or amendments, or initiatives, where citizens can propose legislation that is then put to a vote. The outcome reflects the majority opinion of those who participated, allowing for a more direct expression of the public's will. This system is often seen as a way to enhance civic engagement and accountability.
