Citizens’ initiatives play a critical role in the policy-making process by enabling individuals to address issues directly. Through such initiatives, citizens can propose legislation or policy changes, mobilizing public support to influence lawmakers. This process encourages civic engagement and reflects democratic principles by empowering constituents to voice their concerns. Initiatives also serve as a check on elected officials, holding them accountable for their decisions. However, the success of such initiatives depends on public awareness, organization, and the political climate, which can either foster or hinder grassroots movements.
