title: Consensus Mapping
---

An approach to large-scale public deliberation that surfaces areas of agreement across a population rather than amplifying disagreement — distinct from polling and from open comment threads, which tend to amplify the most vocal and polarised voices.

The main implementation is **[Pol.is](../organisations/polis.md)**, used extensively in Taiwan's [vTaiwan](../organisations/vtaiwan.md) process. The [Taiwan digital democracy post](../blog/posts/2026-05-25-taiwan-digital-democracy.md) covers how it worked in practice, including the Uber regulation case.
