With the US Presential Primaries well underway and the US Presential fast approaching, I felt this should be the subject of my first blog. Whilst searching the internet, i managed to find two very interesting articles on the use of the internet during election campaigns. The first article was taken from the bbc website, published late last year. It is a very interesting article dealing with how the internet could be used to improve voter turnout leading up to the US presential elections later this year. It also maps out the positive aspects of using the internet and how else the internet may be used to encourage political participation.
The second article comes from the journal entitled “Political Science Quarterly”. It deals with the 2000 US Presential elections. This article deals with the relationship between the internet and democracy and looks in depth into the nature of online voting (what is called I-voting) and is yet another good article that can help us better understand the subject of E-democracy.
The links to the two articles are as follows :-
