Abstract
The conflict between the two theories of direct democracy and indirect democracy is one of the most controversial issues surrounding democratic executive models. In direct democracy, citizens have the exclusive right to make laws. On the other hand, the idea of indirect democracy claims that due to the citizens' ignorance and the difficulty of their votes in any field, the citizens' representatives can better handle this responsibility. Arguments of the second category have been more successful, at least to date, because they are more closely related to reality. However, these assumptions can be changed with the occurrence of extensive developments in the field of technology, which is called the fourth industrial revolution. In this regard, this article wants to answer the question of how the achievements of the fourth industrial revolution can solve the gaps in the idea of direct democracy with a descriptive-analytical method. It will be much easier and less expensive to reach the people, and with the help of new technologies, it will be possible to elicit citizens' wishes without direct polls. Also, with the help of artificial intelligence, it can be expected that the general public will be able to participate in the development of programs.
