Agora.today

Your Gateway to Public Consultations & Collaborative Decision Making

Two Powerful Solutions in One Platform

Access All Public Consultations

Agora.today serves as a centralized hub where citizens, organizations, and stakeholders can discover and participate in public consultations from various institutions. Find open consultations, submit your feedback, and track the decision-making process—all in one place.

Host Your Own Consultations

Need to run public consultations for your organization? We provide the complete software solution—document storage, inline commenting on specific paragraphs, stakeholder management, analytics, and ISEAL-compliant workflows. Your team gets powerful tools while participants enjoy a seamless experience.

Key Features

Inline Comments

Comment directly on specific paragraphs or sections of documents. No more guessing which part feedback refers to.

Document Management

Store, version, and manage all consultation documents with full history tracking and secure access controls.

Confidential & Public

Accept both public and confidential feedback. Participants choose their level of transparency.

ISEAL Compliance

Built-in support for ISEAL Codes of Good Practice for standard-setting and assurance processes.

Analytics & Reports

Track participation, analyze feedback themes, measure engagement, and generate comprehensive reports.

Multi-language

Run consultations in multiple languages to reach stakeholders across different regions and countries.

Open for Shared Governance

We believe public consultation tools should be governed by the communities they serve. Agora.today is open for shared governance models—if you represent an organization or coalition interested in co-developing and co-governing this platform, we want to hear from you.

Together, we can build infrastructure for democratic participation that truly belongs to civil society.
