Information on the existing tool - direct democracy portal Today I Decide. ‌ The Estonian Government launched its direct democracy portal, Xxxx Otsustan Mina, „Today I Decide” (XXX) in June 25, 2001 in response to the request of then Prime Minister Xxxx Xxxx to create a tool that would allow people to have an impact on the government work and provide them a possibility to speak up in all spheres of life. The portal was introduced by the State Chancellery as a part of a larger e-government project under the xxx.xxxx.xx domain as the administration was keen to solve the problem of political disengagement in Estonia. The government needed to find new ways of promoting public debate and as by 2001, Internet penetration in Estonia was almost 90 percent among people aged between 15 and 35, an online portal was regarded as an effective way of engaging people in policy making process. XXX was devised with a view to bringing citizens closer to the government and making the operation of the government more transparent to citizens. Rather than a one-way, broadcasting model of information flow about the operation of government, XXX was designed to serve interaction between citizen and government as well as citizen-to- citizen communication. XXX is run by the Estonian Government and is under the auspices of the State Chancellery, a department which includes the Prime Minister’s Office. The State Chancellery owns the software for XXX, and is responsible for the portal’s management. One of its responsibilities is to coordinate cooperation between ministries and to keep the public informed and up to date about government activities. How does XXX work? XXX enables effectively opportunities for citizens to become involved in policy- making and legislation, providing a citizen-initiated process in which any Estonian citizen (or other users of XXX) can submit their own proposals for either amending existing laws or policies or passing new ones. Once an idea is submitted to XXX, it is discussed by participants for ten days. The author then has three days to reconsider and revise the proposal in response to comments from the public. The ten-day time limit for discussion and the three days given to authors to rethink the original submission was thought to be enough for citizens to consider the different aspects of an issue. Proposers often make use of the suggestions they receive during the discussion and revise their proposals significantly before they are voted upon (though the latter has not been practised a lot). The idea is then voted on by users....
