ABSTRACT
Digital transformation has shifted democratic practices from conventional models toward technology-based participatory systems. While it provides broader opportunities for public engagement, key challenges remain, including low levels of democratic literacy, limited public participation, and the spread of misinformation in digital spaces. This study aims to develop the “Digital Democracy Literacy Corner” platform as a medium for education, participation, and public oversight. The research employs a participatory approach based on community service, consisting of planning, development, implementation, assistance, and evaluation stages. Data were collected through observation, pre-test and post-test questionnaires, and interviews involving 120 respondents from diverse backgrounds. The results indicate improvements in democratic literacy by 42%, public participation by 37%, and reporting of democratic issues by 28%. Additionally, the platform reduced misinformation by 31% and increased system efficiency by 45%. These findings demonstrate that integrating education, participation, and verification within a single digital platform is effective in strengthening participatory democracy and has strong potential for replication to support inclusive and sustainable democratic governance.

ABSTRAK
Transformasi digital telah mengubah praktik demokrasi dari model konvensional menuju model partisipatif berbasis teknologi. Meskipun membuka peluang keterlibatan publik yang lebih luas, tantangan utama masih berupa rendahnya literasi demokrasi, minimnya partisipasi masyarakat, serta tingginya disinformasi di ruang digital. Pengabdian ini bertujuan mengembangkan platform “Pojok Literasi Demokrasi Digital” sebagai media edukasi, partisipasi, dan pengawasan masyarakat. Metode pengabdian menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif berbasis pengabdian masyarakat melalui tahapan perencanaan, pengembangan, implementasi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, kuesioner pre-test dan post-test, serta wawancara terhadap 120 responden dari berbagai latar belakang. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan peningkatan literasi demokrasi sebesar 42%, partisipasi masyarakat sebesar 37%, dan pelaporan isu demokrasi sebesar 28%. Selain itu, platform mampu menekan disinformasi sebesar 31% dan meningkatkan efisiensi sistem sebesar 45%. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa integrasi edukasi, partisipasi, dan verifikasi dalam satu platform digital efektif dalam memperkuat demokrasi partisipatif berbasis teknologi serta berpotensi direplikasi untuk mendukung tata kelola demokrasi yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan.
