Processing high volumes of inputs from citizen engagement in parliamentary business: Case study from Brazil

As parliaments develop more channels for citizens to submit their views, many are then faced with the challenge of having to process large volumes of comments and submissions within what often are tight political timings and unhelpful processes. This is clearly a challenge faced by many parliaments so we have put together two IPU/IPEN Public Engagement Hub seminars on the topic to discuss different types of approaches.

In this second seminar on processing mass data, we will consider four tools used by the Brazilian Parliament to aid public participation and manage mass input from citizens. An outline will be given of the ePoll, which is the most used public participation tool used by Brazilian citizens. The seminar will look at how the information obtained through using such tools is handled by Parliamentarians, what works well / could be better, and what plans are being made for the future.

This will be supplemented by an overview of similar tools used in the Brazilian Senate such as its e-citizenship platform.

Language(s): English, French, Spanish

This webinar is jointly organised by the IPU and the International Parliament Engagement Network (IPEN)

The event is part of the series of webinars hosted by the Public engagement hub in IPU’s Centre for Innovation in Parliament in follow-up to the 2022 IPU-UNDP Global Parliamentary Report on Public engagement in the work of parliament.
