I think that Sortition democracy is one example of a democratic progress as this form of democracy involves the selection of political representatives at random from a pool of citizens. The idea is that by randomly selecting citizens, it will give them a voice in the decision-making process, regardless of their socioeconomic background or other external factors. This form of democracy is believed to be more representative of the population as a whole and could help to reduce the effects of political bias. Other examples of democratic progress include the use of digital technologies to increase public participation in the decision-making process. For example, some governments have used online voting systems to allow citizens to cast their votes remotely, making it easier for people to participate in the democratic process. Additionally, there has been a rise in the use of public opinion surveys to gauge public opinion on various issues. These surveys provide valuable data that can help inform decision-makers and ensure that the public's voice is heard. Finally, there has been an increased focus on transparency in government. Many governments have implemented transparency initiatives, such as providing access to public records and documents, to ensure that citizens can stay informed about what is happening in their government. These initiatives allow citizens to stay informed about the decisions their government is making, helping to ensure that their voices are heard in the democratic process.

I would say adjusting the bounds of citizenship. Citizenship determines participation in democracy. The bounds of citizenship are fundamentally tied to the territorial nation state yet the issues we face are not necessarily territorially bound. In an increasingly globalized world the "democratic" decisions we make are not representative of those whom the decisions affect. Sea level rise induced by climate change and how that impacts the habitability of the Pacific is a prime example. Developed states produce the emissions and small island developing states are effected, yet they have no say. Coming up with a bifurcated forms of local, national, regional, global, citizenship would allow more appropriate democratic participation on certain issues. It would also not crowd out democratic participation on local/indigenous levels. There would be some form of interaction/overlaps between the types of citizenship as you could draw impact lines between local and global and vice versa. Addressing that would be an institutional challenge but one that we could "progress" towards.
