- ITC's e-Petitioner is an online petition system that allows citizens to raise and sign a petition, read background information on the issue, and add comments to an online forum associated with each petition. It is characterised by its integration into the processes of representative democracy. There are 3 groups of actors in the e-petition: people who want to raise petitions (petitioners); people who support particular petition issues (signatories); the body to which the petitions are addressed: e.g. parliament, government, local authority. In the e-petitioner system, this body has overall responsibility for the system, including its administration. e-Petitioner includes administration tools that are tailored to integrate with the parliament or authority’s preferred means of processing petitions. The system evolved from a research project conducted jointly by The Scottish Parliament, the International Teledemocracy Centre (ITC) at Edinburgh Napier University and BT Scotland, as part of an investigation into the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in encouraging democratic participation.
