e-democracy in European cities
"e-Citizenship for All" benchmark survey results presented in Tallinn by the Eurocities network [completed in 2004]
Of interest to this audience may be the results for e-democracy:
- eDemocracy and Community Building: More than 90% of respondents were in agreement with elected representatives being contactable by e-mail; citizens receiving electronic communications on policy matters and elected representatives to modernise their working practices. However, 57% of participants didnt expect on-line consultation to raise public expectations and could lead to frustration. 43% had no view on whether all European citizens should be able to vote on-line and 53% suggested that elected representatives couldnt cope with the number of e-mails they receive.
Very much in line with our recent results from Britain, released in The promise and perils of virtual representation - The public view.
