  • #9: Three political parties registered Interesting comparison between candidates for the Viseu election Viseu local elections: 2 active candidates answering almost all the questions (97% from a total of 33 questions) Emphasize comments it covered the last three weeks before the portuguese parliamentary elections and the last two weeks before the local elections. Limited to this time frame, and taking into consideration that approximately 300 different city hall elections were to be held, we decided to focus on the parliamentary election and on one local election,油although the application is designed to cover all the local elections油simultaneously. Questions and suggestions covering health care, education, economy, justice
  • #10: Considering future work in this application, Liberopinion-Elections, after more detailed consultation of the stakeholders, the citizens and candidates, functionalities such as workflow and staff management to the candidates and management of favorite contributions to the citizens were the main points identified. In addition, as a direct consequence of the application development and usage, the following open questions were identified for future research and development:油How to prevent duplicated entries and how to manage a possibly large amount of questions and proposals. All in all, we believe Liberopinion-Elections to be an effective tool for elections 2.0, and we hope this new way of citizen-candidate interaction can also inspire other initiatives for finding innovative solutions in e-democracy.油

  • #14: From the feedback we received, applications in e-democracy will become mainstream. These digital tools would provide a major contribution to reverse the current disengagement from political and electoral debate, as well as a valuable means to bring together both citizens and politicans through open and direct dialogue. There were two types of reactions by the politicians when invited to participate in this platform, one where the candidates show their enthusiam from the first moment and consider this as a great opportunity to transmit their political message to voters, while other candidates, typically of older age, admit that political future is towards tools such as this one, but feel their participation as another resource consuming initiative for which, in contrast to the well known broadcast media, they still do not have the appropriate internal structure and preparation. These were clear signs that tools specially designed for supporting e-democracy are still in an early stage and that there is openness from the vast majority of political parties to embrace and participate in new initiatives such as this one. All political candidates are well aware of the current momentum in internet-based social networks and dedicate more and more financial and human resources for transmitting their messages across the electorate through web channels such as twitter and facebook and their own websites.
  • #16: From the feedback we received, applications in e-democracy will become mainstream. These digital tools would provide a major contribution to reverse the current disengagement from political and electoral debate, as well as a valuable means to bring together both citizens and politicans through open and direct dialogue.

  • #17: Considering future work in this application, Liberopinion-Elections, after more detailed consultation of the stakeholders, the citizens and candidates, functionalities such as workflow and staff management to the candidates and management of favourite contributions to the citizens were the main points identified. In addition, as a direct consequence of the application development and usage, the following open questions were identified for future research and development:油How to prevent duplicated entries and how to manage a possibily large amount of questions and proposals. All in all, we believe Liberopinion-Elections to be an effective tool for elections 2.0, and we hope this new way of citizen-candidate interaction can also inspire other initiatives for finding innovative solutions in e-democracy.油
