Can’t remember which South American country did it, might have been Venezuela, but at least one of them has an official app. You register to vote on your 18th birthday, and get daily notifications about the various proposals at each level of government that applies to your address. They also created a team to boil the proposals down into plain language. You vote personally and the government has to, in theory, listen to the will of the people.
Of course that system will still be susceptible to propaganda, as evidenced by the fact that whatever country did it, still has some serious issues.

I was curious about the app you mentioned and understanding how they solved the privacy & anonymity requirements.
This is the only similar app I could find but it’s not exactly as you mentioned. Can it be this one?

If not I would be glad if you can share any reference to the one you mentioned. That would be really helpful.
Sorry. I remember the article from around 2016. I searched as well, but came up with way too much noise to find the actual one that I was referencing
Thanks for looking. Appreciate it. 🙂
