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!
