Finally! How-to-videos for using the CONSUL DEMOCRACY platform!

โ†–๏ธ Easier to access than often long documentation articles (yes, ours included), instruction videos are short, concrete and easy to follow visual manuals.

๐Ÿ“Š The videos cover many aspects of the platform, ranging from creating simple polls to extensive multi-phase processes.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช All videos are English-spoken, but subtitled in English and Spanish, with German and other languages on the way!
