# DemTools

DemTools was developed by the **National Democratic Institute** (non-profit organization), featuring two independent tools: [Apollo](https://dem.tools/apollo) and [Civi](https://dem.tools/civi). These were put together to help civil society organizations, political parties and legislatures involve citizens in government decision-making; connect elected officials with constituents; and manage election data. The Institute worked with free and open-source software projects to adapt software to the needs of critical democratic solutions. Moreover, they designed their tools in a way that advanced technological knowledge or experience is not needed.
