Anyone in Daegu Can Vote

Daegu City will conduct an online citizen vote over a three-week period from August 3 to August 21, 2026, for the selection of participatory budgeting projects for 2027.

This year, Daegu City carried out an open call for community proposal projects. After feasibility reviews by project departments and screening by the Participatory Budgeting Committee, 54 projects were selected as voting candidates. Based on the results of this vote, the participatory budgeting projects for 2027 will be finalized.

Any Daegu resident, as well as workers and students with their workplaces in Daegu, can participate in the vote. Participants can access the Daegu City Participatory Budgeting website, complete identity verification, and cast their votes. Prizes will be awarded by lottery among the participants. However, city officials and employees of affiliated organizations or investment-funded institutions under Daegu City are not eligible to participate in the voting.

The projects up for citizen voting this year are divided into four categories: four projects in the economic development field, including "Installation of landscape lighting on Airport Road near Daegu Airport"; ten projects in the welfare and public safety field, such as "Creation of safe access roads to the Geumho River"; eight projects in the environment and water resources field, such as "Creation of neighborhood parks"; and thirty-two projects in the transportation field, such as the "Installation of smart intersection alerts around schools," for a total of 54 projects across four fields.

Meanwhile, at the General Assembly of the Daegu City Participatory Budgeting Committee scheduled for September 3, 2026, the government participation projects finalized through the online citizen vote will be confirmed and approved.

The projects selected at the General Assembly will be reflected in the 2027 budget proposal and submitted to the Daegu City Council. After council deliberation, these will be officially confirmed as participatory budgeting projects.
