In association with VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1 OF THE JOURNAL OF SORTITION IS OUT NOW — TAKE A LOOK AT THE TABLE OF CONTENTS AND THE INTRODUCTION! Since ancient times, sortition (random selection by lot) has been used both to distribute political office and as a general prophylactic against factionalism and corruption in societies as diverse as classical-era Athens and the Most Serene Republic of Venice. Lotteries have also been employed for the allocation of scarce goods such as social housing and school places to eliminate bias and ensure just distribution, along with drawing lots in circumstances where unpopular tasks or tragic choices are involved (as some situations are beyond rational human decision-making). More recently, developments in public opinion polling using random sampling have led to the proliferation of citizens’ assemblies selected by lot. The Journal of Sortition is dedicated to the study of random selection from a wide variety of perspectives. If you have any questions about your subscription, please email
