ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

E-democracy

E-democracy means using technology to let people get involved in making decisions and taking action in their communities. It's like when you and your friends use a group chat to plan a playdate, but grown-ups use it to talk about things that affect everybody who lives in their town or city. E-democracy makes it possible for people to share their ideas, opinions, and concerns even if they can't go to a meeting in person. This way, everyone can have a say in what happens in their community, and it's fair for everyone.
