Direct democracy is a form of democracy that is based on the direct, unmediated and continuous participation of citizens in the tasks of government. It therefore obliterates the distinction between government and the people, being a system of popular self-government. Participation is direct in that people make policy decisions, not merely choosing who will rule on their behalf. Participation is unmediated in that people are the government and participation is continuous in that people engage in politics on a regular and ongoing basis.

An example of an indirect democracy is the United States Senate.

An example of a direct democracy is a town hall meeting in New England similar to the town hall meetings in The Simpsons where the population votes directly to propsed actions.
