“…With a similar focus on a specific e-participation tool, Smith and Macintosh (2003) address the issue of electronic voting (e-voting) by conducting a case study on an internet-enabled remote voting system for a young people's parliament in Scotland. In evaluating the turnout outcomes with the use of focus groups with users, they conclude that the electronic voting system does not prove more convenient and tends to raise serious privacy and perceived security issues.…”

Purpose -This paper aims to discuss the cost of e-participation from the managerial perspective. Design/methodology/approach -The use of digital media to consult and engage citizens and companies in the decision-making process is a way of improving the design and legitimatization of decisions, as well as potentially increasing the likelihood of successful implementation of policies. This paper discusses if the potential economic benefits from increased or qualitatively improved involvement inherently are long term and have to compete with other activities undertaken by government. Findings -There are great uncertainties regarding the magnitude of the positive effects on governance since there are not only positive, but also negative externalities of e-participation; thus, there are major challenges in measuring and capitalizing on the e-participation. Part of the reason for the uncertainty is the lack of explicit awareness of the choice of technology, communication style and institutional approach to implementing e-participation. Further, there is the need to be aware of the administrative costs in transferring e-participation practices and techniques. Originality/value -The perspective on cost of e-participation is not well explored. The discussion raised emphasizes the urgency of the issue.

“…The dominance of writers comes from European countries, such as the United Kingdom which occupies the top ranks, followed by the United States, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Australia, Austria, Germany, Brazil, and in the last order namely Jordan. The most popular publication trend is held by the United Kingdom, this is due to the large number of studies conducted to see the development of the effectiveness of evoting in the democratic system in the United Kingdom in the transition from traditional democracy to e-democracy (Pratchett, 2012;Smith & Macintosh, 2003). Moss & Coleman (2014) stated that the trend of e-democracy that is fading in fact can not be realized perfectly in the United Kingdom.…”

The e-democracy system that continues to change and develop every year is an exciting topic to continue to be studied. Since the massive development of information and communication technology, research related to e-democracy is now a trend carried out by scholars. The article aims to evaluate the e-democracy research trend through bibliometric analysis techniques in two decades (2001-2020). This article uses a bibliometric analysis with applied VOSviewer to provide researchers with describing data and Gephy software to map network classification. Countries in Europe and the Americas dominate the research and implementation of the e-democracy system through a smaller approach, namely, e-government. This article found nine main clusters of 306 articles that have been coming from different countries, affiliates, and authors. This clusterization mapping was helpful for future researchers in developing and discussing their research on the study of e-democracy.

“…Smith and Macintosh are of the view that a modern e-enabled system of democratic governance seems to require some sort of modernisation of the voting process, whether through e-counting methods or an e-voting system [17]. According to Macintoshthe most powerful symbol of a democracy is the citizen's involvement in the free and fair election of representatives to govern them [18].…”

The study used an on-line questionnaire which was administered to a broader group of voters and an in-depth semi-structured interview with the Independent Electoral Commission officials. The analysis is based on thematic analysis and diffusion of innovations theory is adopted as a theoretical lens of analysis. The findings reveal that relative advantage, compatibility and complexity would determine the intentions of South African voters and the Electoral
