Democracy International is run by the board and the council as well as a board of trustees in an advisory role. The board of Democracy International is elected by the general assembly, which is held every three years. In the general assembly, the members and groups have equal vote. The council consists of group members.

The council and the board jointly decide together on the admission of new members to the council.

In 2011 people from all over the world approved Democracy International's statutes on the occasion of Democracy International's founding assembly.
