让公民大会持续轮换,实现长期公平代表不同群体。

Temporal Panel Selection in Ongoing Citizens' Assemblies

  • 按时间序列设计轮换机制,确保每轮面板和整体序列都公平代表人群。
  • 算法保障每个个体被选中概率均等,且小群体在长期中也能被覆盖。
  • 适合关注民主参与公平性的研究者与政策设计者参考。

永久性公民大会是由随机选取的公民组成的持续性协商机构,由轮换的小组构成。与一次性小组不同,永久性大会可在多轮中实现参与者的动态更替,从而在长期内确保不同群体获得代表性。本文将这一时间维度上的随机抽样框架形式化,要求既在单个小组内实现比例代表制,又在整个面板序列上保持总体结构的均衡。基于Ebadian和Micha(2025)的工作,我们假设人口位于度量空间中,目标是同时实现群体比例代表性和个体公平性——即每个个体被选中的概率相同。通过扩展代表性概念至时间序列,我们要求任意初始段落的面板集合作为累积整体,也应成比例反映人口结构。本文提出多种算法,在保证单个面板与任意连续面板序列的比例代表性的同时,维持个体层面的时间公平性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Permanent citizens' assemblies are ongoing deliberative bodies composed of randomly selected citizens, organized into panels that rotate over time. Unlike one-off panels, which represent the population in a single snapshot, permanent assemblies enable shifting participation across multiple rounds. This structure offers a powerful framework for ensuring that different groups of individuals are represented over time across successive panels. In particular, it allows smaller groups of individuals that may not warrant representation in every individual panel to be represented across a sequence of them. We formalize this temporal sortition framework by requiring proportional representation both within each individual panel and across the sequence of panels. Building on the work of Ebadian and Micha (2025), we consider a setting in which the population lies in a metric space, and the goal is to achieve both proportional representation, ensuring that every group of citizens receives adequate representation, and individual fairness, ensuring that each individual has an equal probability of being selected. We extend the notion of representation to a temporal setting by requiring that every initial segment of the panel sequence, viewed as a cumulative whole, proportionally reflects the structure of the population. We present algorithms that provide varying guarantees of proportional representation, both within individual panels and across any sequence of panels, while also maintaining individual fairness over time.
