About Hizbi

Hizbi (ህዝቢ, "the people") is an independent platform that helps people's voices be heard and lead to change. It starts with the Eritrean community, inside the country and abroad, and will later open to Ethiopians.

Anyone can register for free. The Hizbi team checks each registration against an official document, and verified members receive a Hizbi code. Members suggest questions, support the ones that matter to them, and vote Yes or No on political, social and cultural topics. Results are published openly.

Trust

Every member is checked by hand, so each vote comes from a real person.

Openness

Results and our rules are public.

Fairness

One verified person, one vote in each question.

Rules

Registration

  1. Registration is free and open to people 18 or older from the communities Hizbi currently serves.
  2. Register only once, with your own real details.
  3. Your identity document must be valid. It can be Eritrean or from the country where you live.
  4. Giving false information or using someone else's document leads to removal from Hizbi.

Verification and your code

  1. The Hizbi team checks every registration by hand. Verified people receive a numbered Hizbi code and a digital member card.
  2. The photo of your document is deleted as soon as it has been checked.
  3. Anyone can check a Hizbi code to see if it belongs to a verified member. The check never shows your name.
  4. When your ID document expires, your account becomes view-only until you send an updated document and the team approves it.

Voting

  1. Only verified members can vote. Each question is answered Yes or No.
  2. Each member has one vote per question and can change it until the vote closes.
  3. Your vote is secret. Nobody, including the Hizbi team, can see how you voted unless you choose to show your name.
  4. Results are published when a vote closes. Breakdowns by country, age or sex are shown only for groups of at least 20 voters, so nobody can be singled out.

Questions

  1. Questions come from members' suggestions. The most-supported suggestions are reviewed by the team at the end of each round.
  2. The team may add a short neutral explanation, but the question is always answered Yes or No.

Community guidelines

  1. Respect people. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, mockery or name-calling.
  2. No hate. No attacks on anyone because of their ethnic group, religion, region, sex or language.
  3. No threats or violence. Never threaten, encourage or celebrate violence against anyone.
  4. Protect privacy. Do not share anyone's personal details, photos or addresses.
  5. Be honest. Do not spread information you know is false, and do not pretend to be someone else.
  6. No spam or advertising. Stay on topic.

How we moderate

  1. Posts with blocked words, or that an automatic check finds abusive, are held until a moderator reviews them.
  2. Anyone can report a post. Moderators review every report.
  3. If a moderator removes your post, you see the reason and can appeal once.
  4. Moderators can give warnings. After 3 warnings an account is suspended and can only view.
  5. Every team action is recorded in a log.
