ELECT, an Internet-based facility to help voters access impartial
information about election candidates, received substantial funding
for their Active Citizenship project from the Electoral Commission
New Initiatives Fund, their first grant.
“Active Citizenship” was launched officially on February
18 at a conference held at the Europarc Innovation Centre in Grimsby
and reviewed on 18th July 2003.
Initially, “Active Citizenship” concentrated on North
East Lincolnshire affairs. However as it is being widely seen as successful,
the roll out across the whole region is now being actively considered.
There are also possibilities of further trials in other countries.
Incredibly, this is the first time that any scheme of this nature,
on this scale, has been attempted anywhere in the world! Read a review of the 2003 Local Election
