So I built my own platform with authentication via Dusiburg ID, ensuring that only DU citizens vote. Recently, I added bills registration system for the Parliament of Dusiburg: parliamentarians vote, and the result is automatically sent to the President. He either signs or rejects the bill. If approved, it's automatucally published on Dusiburg ID. One of the biggest challenges was implementing interaction between the CEC site, Dusiburg ID, and the VK and Telegram bots."
