Since 2005 the Austrian Federal Computing Centre (BRZ abbr) has elaborated specific IT-solutions in the field of e-Democracy. The result is the so-called "Participatory E-Government" program that allows for an extended approach and currently comprises three different fields: Citizen participation in formal procedures, E-Voting and E-Participation. This successful method of combining research and actual application should also be followed in the future.
