Paper Abstract:
|
The intense participation of a population to support decisions through participatory democratic process is hampered by a number of issues such as remote location, infrastructure, availability of time and political organization among the communities. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as an alternative solution to this problem. ICT associated with the power of the Internet represent true gear joint operational processes of governments and nongovernmental entities providing flow of information, services and popular participation. On the one hand the Internet has democratized access to information for people the mobile has democratized communication. In this sense, the Web tools have been used as a means of dissemination and mobile as a means of voting and counting to hold the first International Digital Direct Election - ID2E. This article aims to describe the ID2E performed in order to test the viability for the international voting by mobiles using SMS protocol, using Web 2.0 tools to facilitate discussions about the election main theme. |
