Descripción del proyecto
Un estudio más detallado del voto telemático y la gobernanza electrónica
El derecho al voto es la base de la democracia y el voto telemático puede ayudar a los votantes a participar. El proyecto CIVICS, financiado con fondos europeos, estudiará la suposición de que el uso del voto telemático para las consultas electrónicas, los referéndums electrónicos y, sobre todo, las elecciones electrónicas fomenta una democracia representativa, participativa y directa, así como una gobernanza más transparente, implicada y responsable. CIVICS se centra en un conjunto de países, campañas e instrumentos con voto telemático. Desde un punto de vista teórico, ve el gobierno abierto como una formulación de políticas públicas colaborativa entre los ciudadanos y las autoridades. El proyecto será dirigido por el Instituto Johan Skytte de Estudios Políticos de la Universidad de Tartu (Estonia), institución pionera en el estudio de la administración electrónica en el único país del mundo que ha puesto en marcha unas elecciones telemáticas para todos los votantes.
Objetivo
This project aims to cognise the impact of internet voting on open government in international comparative perspective. It is inspired by the assumption that the use of i-voting for e-consultations, e-referenda, and especially e-elections promotes direct, participatory, and representative democracy as well as more transparent, engaging, and accountable governance. To test this, the project puts forward the objectives to identify i-voting impact on voters, civil society organisations, authorities, open government as a system, and discover conditions affecting i-voting impact in these aspects. In contrast to the available studies that focus on a single country, a specific i-voting campaign, or a narrow aspect and miss the link to open government, this research endeavours to examine a more complete set of i-voting countries, campaigns, instruments, dimensions and associate i-voting with open government. Conceptually it views open government as collaborative public policy making by citizens and authorities. Methodologically it will be accomplished by: policy analysis of i-voting legislation and reports; content-analysis of public and civic websites; statistical analysis of i-voting results tables, log files and public opinion surveys; and qualitative comparative analysis of i-voting- and open government-related variables. The study will be carried out at the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies, University of Tartu, Estonia – the pioneer institution researching e-government in the only country in the world that has implemented i-elections for all voters. Principally, the action foresees collaborating with the ERA Chair in E-governance and Digital Public Services research team, mastering advanced methods of statistical analysis, and using mixed methods to model and assess the impact of i-voting on open government venturing to circulate academic findings and practical recommendations for a more influential i-voting, empowered e-participation, and good e-governance.
