eDemocracy represents the use of information and communication technologies by selected actors within political and governance processes of local communities. This covers everything from the political campaigning on the internet and the government’s use of the internet to raise awareness and debate on issues to the people’s use of new technologies to criticise governments and reveal their mistakes.
