Encouraging citizen participation
In the state capital of Mainz, residents aged 14 and over can actively encourage civic participation. Do you have a project for which you would like to initiate new citizen participation? Or would you like to see "more" citizen participation in existing projects from our project list (www.mainz.de/vorhabenliste)?
We would be delighted if you would send us your suggestions via this online service:
Your suggestion for citizen participation will be processed by the Coordination Office for Citizen Participation and coordinated within the city administration. Provided there are no reasons against it (e.g., the project is not within the scope of the state capital of Mainz, the project is already too far advanced), your suggestion for citizen participation will be posted online on the website of the state capital of Mainz. Please note: Your first name and last name will be included in this publication. Residents can then declare their support for the project via another online service. Each project requires 200 supporters from Mainz.
If 200 Mainz residents declare their support within eight weeks, the relevant department will work with the coordination office for citizen participation to draft a resolution for the city council. The final decision on implementing the citizen participation initiative you have proposed will be made at the next regular city council meeting.
