Introduction :
E-democracy is "the use of information and communications technologies and strategies by 'democratic sectors ' within the political processes of local communities, states/regions, nations and on the global stage” (Clift,Steven,2003). Electronic government (e-government) is commonly referred to as the delivery of government information and services through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) (Akman et al., 2005; Horan and Abhichandani, 2006). With the significant benefits that e-government promises including delivery of quality public services, convenience and accessibility to public services, reduction of communication and information costs, bridging digital divide, and active participation of citizens in government (Aldrich et al., 2002; Jaeger and Thompson, 2003; Akman et al., 2005), tremendous investment has been made worldwide in implementing diverse e-government initiatives for making full use of the potential of effective and efficient e-government. I would be focusing on the sub-topic Public Value of the E-democracy to Citizens.
Public Value of E-democracy:
The public value of E-democracy can be measured only by the services that the government offers their citizens. It is also very vital that these services are being provided to the citizens hassle free. To measure the public value there has been guidelines set by the United Nations. And there is a report that is generated every year regarding this.
Before we decide and dive deep into what public value do citizens
