The present dissertation aims to explore innovative decision-making approaches that complement traditional voting processes, examining them through an algorithmic, game-theoretic and axiomatic lens. The central objective is to identify voting procedures that can increase agents' desire to participate in collective governance and improve voters participation experience. Therefore, we focus on suggesting and analysing voting frameworks and election rules that reconcile the varying preferences of the electorate towards achieving socially desirable outcomes in various scenarios, aspiring to elevate both the quantity and quality of community involvement in democratic processes.
