Case Study: Government of British Columbia Ministry of Finance engages citizens on budget priorities with Delib Simulator

Difficult decisions to balance the books

The Government of British Columbia Ministry of Finance needed to engage citizens on the difficult challenge of balancing the provincial budget and closing a substantial deficit. To improve this digital public engagement, they worked with the vendor Delib.

Delib implemented its Simulator tool to consult citizens on their spending priorities. The solution was highly successful, attracting more than 1,500 participants within the first 24 hours and over 3,000 in total, providing the government with valuable insights into public opinion. The Director of Communications praised Delib for being quick, responsive, and collaborative in delivering the project effectively under tight timelines.
