Line 70:
Metropolitan cities have ward councils instead of citizen's councils. These are limited to the ward in question. The ward councillor can call a ward council meeting at their discretion or they can be compelled to call such a meeting by 5% or more of the citizens who reside there. They can pass resolutions with respect their ward. If this meeting is legally constituted (contains at least a third of the residents who signed a roster that was sent to and is verified by the Magistrate) and its resolutions meet the legal standards of the Local Government Act, its decisions are legally binding. It can also compel the ward councilor to resign. A ward council can be called without a ward councilor as long as a third of the residents attend but they must select a Chairperson and Secretary.
Municipal Assemblies can be petitioned by the residents of that Municipality. If at least 10,000 people sign a petition attached to a resolution formatted according to the LGA, the Municipal Assembly can be compelled to hold a referendum whose result is binding. Failure to summon a referendum for a legally structured petition requires the Provincial Assembly to dissolve the Municipal Assembly and organize the referendum itself.
[[Cafe Net]] runs the '''National Local Initiative System'''. It is an online system which includes a mobile app and website. Each user has a profile that is linked to their voter registration details. It is used for managing direct action by citizens as follows:
* It allows users to sign petitions virtually and it confirms their identity automatically
* It communicates the status of a petition to the residents of the ward or municipality to which the petition applies by email and by SMS.
* It can be used to record the attendance of people at a meeting.
* It can be used to record minutes.
* It can be used to facilitate voting on decisions for ward and citizen's councils.
* It can help drafters of petitions make sure that their proposals meet the criteria set out by law.
* It allows for virtual ward and citizen's councils to be held through its videoconferencing feature. This feature records and transcribes these meetings, allows users to speak, share presentations, and raise their hands. Virtual ward and citizen's council meetings must be managed by the ward councillor or an authorised person. Virtual citizen's councils must be managed by a person authorised by the Provincial or Municipal Council.
* It gives Provincial Executive Councils the power to authorize users to chair and manage virtual meetings.
