What are you allowed to do with it?

  • Everything: share, edit, publish, including commercially. Our processing falls under the CC BY 4.0 licence.
  • Do credit the source, for example: "Source: OpenDemocratie, based on Eurostat". The original source is shown with each file.
  • Citizens’ votes are not a poll: people who vote on OpenDemocratie do so of their own accord. Mention that too.

What is never included: individual votes, groups of fewer than 50 people, data from the Brussels Parliament (non-commercial reuse only) and the figures from the Kiel Institute (no open licence).
