We outline a new voting procedure for representative democracies. This
procedure should be used for important decisions only and consists of two voting
rounds: a randomly-selected subset of the citizens is awarded a one-time voting right.
The parliament also votes, and the two decisions are weighted according to a predefined
key. The final decision is implemented. As this procedure gives the society—
represented by the randomly-chosen subset—a better say for important decisions, the
citizens might be more willing to accept the consequences of these decisions.
