  Special Issue e-Vote Conference

  Vol. 16 No. 3 (2024)

  This special issue marks the first of its kind in the E-Vote-ID conference series featured in the eJournal of eDemocracy and Open Government (JeDEM). It presents six papers, with the first four being extended versions of works initially accepted at the 2023 E-Vote-ID Conference. These papers explore topics such as the transparency of internet voting, trust and distrust in election technologies, their administration by electoral management bodies, and discussions on risks, perceptions and mitigation strategies. Additionally, the issue includes two papers closely related to the conference's themes: one examining voter opinions on internet voting in France and the other addressing e-government frameworks within the context of Industrial Revolution 4.0 technologies. The aim of this special issue is to provide insights into two decades of e-voting practices, supported by empirical research on governance, elections, and hands-on experiences with e-voting and digital election technologies.

  Open data has been given a lot of attention in the public. In some situation ‘open by default’ has become established as a core principle, whereas others  argue about the limited results and the lack of robust studies demonstrating the value, and point to the risk that open data might turn out to be a short lived policy fad. This special issue contains a variety of research papers addressing this topic from different views and providing recent research results on open data. The papers in this issue deepen the understanding of open data and show that the subject of open data is moving from the general to the study of specifics. The special issue also includes invited papers presented at the first public meeting of the SharePSI project. Share-PSI 2.0 is the European network for the exchange of experience and ideas around implementing open data policies in the public sector.

  Nowadays, when citizens, activists and participants in social movements want to voice their opinions and negotiate their political identities they increasingly do so in hybrid media environments that are particularly suitable for mobilisation, organisation and discussion. With a massive increase in online social networking, digital infrastructures are lowering the threshold for political involvement. This, in turn, is considerably shifting the power dynamics of participation.

  On the one hand we are witnessing how increasing access to the internet has resulted in an array of new strategies and success stories for contemporary activism, in particular with regards to mobilisation. On the other hand, we are still groping in the dark when it comes to understanding the place of digital participatory activities in the shifting landscapes of power in late modernity. For this special issue of JeDEM, we invite scholarly research to shed light on the issues of power and participation online.
