You wait an age for a citizens' assembly, and then ten come along at once. 2019 is shaping up to be the year of the citizens' assembly!
UPDATE: The following list was updated at the end of 2019. We think it captures all of the citizens' assemblies and citizens' juries that took place in 2019, but let us know if we've missed any.
There are many more intended for 2020. Check out the rolling list here.
