A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.

About this process
Welcome to Limassol's first participatory democracy platform. We believe that the best experts on our city are the people who live here. This space connects residents from Zakaki to Neapolis, giving every voice a platform to shape our shared environment. Whether it’s deciding on new park locations or prioritizing road repairs, your vote turns opinion into action.
How It Works: The Cycle of Participation
The platform operates on a continuous, transparent four-stage cycle designed to turn raw ideas into municipal policy.
1. Propose (The Idea Phase) Any resident with a verified ID can submit a proposal. Whether it is a request for a new dog park in Mesa Geitonia, a solution for traffic congestion on Kolonakiou Avenue, or a cultural festival in the Old Port, your idea starts here. Users upload photos, maps, and estimated budgets.
2. Debate (The Deliberation Phase) Democracy thrives on dialogue. Once a proposal is live, the community weighs in.
