Ostracism: Athenian democracy had a
very special type vote that occurred
once a year. In the ancient Greek
version of Survivor, the citizens could
“vote somebody off the island.” Every
year, the assembly gathered. Each
citizen was allowed to scratch the name
of the person they perceived as the
greatest threat to the city-state in to a
pot shard, or, in the language of
ancient Greece, an ostrakon. Provided
that 6,000 votes were cast, the person
who received the most votes was
ostracized, and sent into exile for a
decade.
