Formularium is a FOSS, privacy-first and user-friendly toolkit for small to medium sized municipalities (8-100k inhabitants) to put their public services online.

Why?: We feel that municipalities are a backbone to democracy but often are left behind when it comes to extending the democratic government to the digital world. We feel that neither existing vendors, nor the federal government provide the software components that would be needed to put existing analog public services online (let alone as FOSS).

• ~60% of the workforce in municipalities retires in the next 20 years (~1.5M people are employed in municipalities)source
• already today ~200k municipal public administration positions can not be filled source
• ~50% of municipalities think they are not appropriately prepared to go digital source
