Techno-Democracy primarily focuses on addressing the challenges posed by the size and time constraints inherent in traditional forms of direct democracy. In large or populous societies, direct participation in decision-making can become impractical, as it may be difficult for all eligible citizens to gather and deliberate on issues thoroughly. Techno-Democracy leverages technology to facilitate greater participation and engagement, allowing individuals to participate in democratic processes more conveniently and efficiently, thereby overcoming barriers that prevent people from being directly involved in governance. This technological approach aims to enhance the democratic process by making it more accessible and manageable, which directly relates to the obstacles posed by the size of the population and the time required to engage in traditional direct democratic practices.
