Kialo.com is a popular debate platform with many neat functionalities.

Liquid democracy is another platform where people can vote or delegate their vote easily.

But for critical issues, I think the platform integrity is of great importance and people need to be assured that the platform can detect and deal with manipulation efficiently.

Interesting.
