Citizen Lawmaking and Technology: What’s New and What’s Ahead?

Citizen Lawmaking and Technology: What’s New and What’s Ahead? is the title of my new post at Slaw, the Canadian legal blog. The post describe recent developments in law-related eParticipation, such as ePetition, eConsultation, eRulemaking, electronic voting, and voters’ guides that describe ballot propositions, in the UK, EU, and US.

If you know of other recent developments in these areas, please feel free to share them in the comments.

Crowdsourcing Ballot Initiative Voters’ Guides: Living Voters’ Guides

[NOTE: As of 11 July 2012 the original Living Voters Guide Website appears to be down. Click here for an archived version of the Living Voters Guide.]

A new platform — called Living Voters’ Guides – for crowdsourcing the development of voters’ guides that inform voters about referenda and other ballot initiatives, has been launched by a team including:

• CityClub of Seattle;
• The Design, Use, Build group @ the University of Washington, including Professor Dr. Alan Borning; Travis Kriplean, creator of the Reflect eParticipation system; and Jonathan Morgan;
• The Center for Communication and Civic Engagement @ the University of Washington, including Professor Dr. Lance Bennett and Deen Freelon; and
• Reinspire Me LLC.

The project is funded in part by the National Science Foundation.
