Abstract
This document unifies two papers from the Omxus Research Series: this paper (*Quadratic Voting and Democratic Innovation*) and (Applebee & Combe, 2026, "*Swiss Direct Democracy*") (*178 Years of Direct Democracy: Switzerland as Evidence for Citizen-Led Governance at National Scale*). They were written separately but they are, at bottom, one argument.
