The Queensland Government's eDemocracy initiatives use information and communication technologies such as the Internet, and digital and mobile phone technologies in democratic processes. eDemocracy initiatives provide more opportunities for people to access information and have their say, at a time and place which is convenient to them.
A petition is a direct request to Parliament that enables citizens to have their say about issues that are important to them. Through the E-Petitions Queensland Parliament website (www.parliament.qld.gov.au/petitions) Queenslanders can view, start and sign an ePetition, track the process of an individual petition, and can keep informed about the government's response to the ePetition once it has been tabled by a Minister in Parliament.
