Brief
E-Democracy Definition
E-democracy
represents the
use of information and communication technologies and strategies by
democratic
actors within political and governance processes of local communities,
nations and on the international stage. Democratic actors/sectors
include
governments, elected officials, the media, political organizations, and
citizen/voters.
To many,
e-democracy suggests
greater and more active citizen participation enabled by the Internet,
mobile communications, and other technologies in today’s representative
democracy as well as through more participatory or direct forms of
citizen
involvement in addressing public challenges. – Steven Clift
