vTaiwan is an online platform established by the Taiwanese government to promote citizen participation. It is primarily used as a forum for gathering and debating citizens’ opinions on public policy and legislation. The platform operates as part of open government and digital democracy and aims to improve transparency and participatory democracy.
Specific features include the following
- Collection of diverse opinions: Citizens can freely contribute their opinions and participate in discussions.
- Transparency: the process and results of the debate will be made public.
- Use of technology: Efficient exchange of ideas is carried out using digital tools.
This will make it easier for citizens’ voices to be reflected in policy decisions and to engage in a more active dialogue with the government.
