It's time: join the citizen's jury and select the very first European Capital of Democracy at the end of 2023! To become a juror, you won’t need more than 5 minutes to complete your registration.

Starting in 2022, every year, a different city will be designated European Capital of Democracy, chosen by a jury of 10,000 European citizens. In cooperation with civil ociety, the title-holding city will host a wide range of activities and events, all designed to improve and strengthen democracy.
