Because every vote should count.
Who We Are
Democracy Found is a Wisconsin-based initiative committed to reforming democracy.
By implementing Final Five Voting, a system wherein the top five candidates are selected from the primary ballot and instant runoff voting is used in the general election, we will ensure that politicians are held accountable for delivering results.

Leadership
Katherine Gehl
Founder & Co-Chair Emeritus
“Our political problems aren’t attributable to a single cause, but rather to a failure of the nature of political competition. This is a systems problem–requiring systems change.”
Author of The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break Partisan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy.
Austin Ramirez
Founder & Chair
“Washington is definitely broken, but the problem isn’t a lack of compelling policy solutions or the absence of capable politicians. The problem is an election process that rewards partisan gridlock and the politics of contempt.”
