| Summary: | Crowdsourcing in policymaking is becoming a more common method for civic engagement and knowledge search, and it is used both by local and national governments. In crowdsourced policymaking, the government invites citizens to contribute to a policymaking process and asks them to share their ideas for the policy. For instance, several federal agencies in the United States have used crowdsourcing in policy reforms, Iceland applied crowdsourcing in its constitution reform process, and the House of Representatives in Brazil have used crowdsourcing in policy reforms. |
