The document discusses the potential roles and functions of e-participation in politics. It explores how e-participation could be used for intelligence gathering, communication, and mobilizing different types of voters. Charts and data are presented on levels of acceptance of e-participation among the public. The roles of e-participation are summarized as either communication through public observation or intelligence gathering through elite consultation on specific projects. Concerns are raised about ensuring e-participation is representative of the public.
