E-Democracy

Information and communications technologies are becoming increasingly common in the provision of government services and information, and in electronic consultations and voting. Our research is studying:

• how the accessibility requirements of people with disabilities were (or were not) incorporated in two recent on-line federal government e-consultations
• how the Canadian disability community has used e-consultations for policy development

From this research, we will describe:

• ways future government e-consultations can be more inclusive of people with disabilities
• how emerging information and communications technologies can be used to develop the capacity of the disability community in Canada
