dol2day
The website ‘dol2day’ offers its more than 25,000 users the opportunity to participate in a virtual democracy. Parties can be founded and governments elected. The aim is to encourage political education over the Internet and to foster participation in a simulated Internet democracy.
Additional Description:
Ancillary to the virtual democracy project, the website ‘dol2day.de’ offers discussion forums and surveys on actual, everyday political issues. The website offers an electoral device, the ‘Dol-O-Mat,’ which is a tool similar to the ‘Elect-O-Mat’ offered by The Federal Agency for Civic Education. The answers provided to the questions are evaluated against the electoral programmes of the virtual parties as well as with those of real political parties.
At regular intervals, an Internet chancellor is elected. The transcripts of the chats and the survey results are published on the website.
