ICT can support the establishment of electronic interaction between citizens and government bodies just as e-commerce systems facilitate customers' services in traditional online businesses. e-Democracy or e-participation initiatives imply electronic-based government services for enhancing electronic interaction between citizens and government bodies. The services of e-participation require use of Internet infra-structure and web based applications as well as end user de-vices such as personal computers, laptops or PDAs. This paper proposes an infrastructure for user centric e-participation ser-vices in a developing country context.
