A influência da tecnologia na democracia : avaliando aumento ou modificação da participação popular no voto visando eleições ou decisões
Abstract
Democracy began in Greece, more precisely in its major city-state Athens. It emerged for the
Athenians had the opportunity to participate in decisions and local political life. Despite
having changed since its inception, democracy is currently used in several world's
governments, whether in direct, indirect or semi-direct form. For this political regime can be
applied, there are various forms of popular participation at the disposal of civil society. Some
of these forms of participation is already being implemented with the help of technology, but
for the technological resources to be used in a conscious and judicious way, a better
understanding of their uses in participatory modalities is necessary. Since voting, both in
elections and decisions, is the most popular and used form of participation in the world, and in
several cases and countries already has technological support (e-voting), it is even more
essential to understand and analyze the possible influence of technology on participation. The
purpose of this research was to study the influence of technology on democracy. After
identifying and systematizing existing forms of popular participation, it was intended to
investigate the impact of technology on popular participation in voting for elections and
decisions. Significant changes were observed through the use of e-voting in both modalities of
voting mentioned, like: the increase of technology in voting; decrease of invalid votes, mainly
in elections, and support in participation itself. Results also suggest that the highest percent of
participation in decisions occur when a combination of voting modalities, that includes both
technological support and/or conventional options, are used.
