  • Move over bulky ballot boxes and long queues; the era of e-democracy is here

    Uganda was among 17 African countries going to the polls this year. In all these states, the mere mention of electronic voting sparks a debate that portrays Africa as not being ready for digitalised elections.

    The Electoral Commission of Uganda tried biometric registration in a bid to reduce fraud. Uganda also used ICT in transmitting the results from the district returning officers to the national tallying centre. This is the kind of system that was used in Kenya during the referendum and by-elections with credible success.

    But the hard nut to crack in most African elections lies in digitalising the whole processes involved so as to attain e-voting alongside e-democracy and e-government. Challenges and the dark side usually take centre stage.

  • Nepal: e-Democracy For New Democratic Paradigm

  • Norway: Citizens have their say in development of new eGovernment portal

    The Norwegian Agency for Public Management and eGovernment (DIFI) has started developing an improved version of Norwegian eGovernment portal 'Noreg.no' (Norway.no, in English). It is inviting the public to provide their input into this process through the dedicated blog at 'beta.norge.no'.

    DIFI's plans include the integration in several phases of the personalised, one-stop self-service portal 'Miside' ('MyPage', in English) with the existing 'Noreg.no' in an aim to further structure the eGovernment portal around citizen needs and daily lives. The new Noreg.no will still be a guide to public information and services and it shall facilitate contacts between citizens and the Public Administration.

    E-Democracy, die Nutzung von Internet und Handy bei Wahlen und Abstimmungen, wird die Stimmbeteiligung kaum erhöhen. Doch sie könnte den politischen Meinungsbildungsprozess fördern, lautet das Fazit einer Tagung des Vereins eCH in Bern.

  • Spanien: Provinz Granada: Vernetztes Miteinander im Cyber-Pueblo

    Die spanische Gemeinde Jun zeigt vor, wie Teledemokratie und E-Government gelebt werden können. Allen voran der Bürgermeister, der emsig bloggt und sich per Webcam über die Schulter blicken lässt.

    Jun, ein Vorort Granadas in der hügeligen Vega gelegen, unweit Viznar, wo im Sommer 1936 Häscher Francos den Dichter Federico García Lorca ermordeten und verscharrten, zählt heute rund 2600 Einwohner. Das typisch-weiße, andalusische Dorf ist "Europas Geburtsort der Aktiven Teledemokratie", seit am 28. Juli 2001 der damalige EU-Kommissionschef Romano Prodi diesen Titel verlieh.
