Abstract :
Liberopinion is a web platform for enabling e-democracy applications. This paper seeks to present the features of two e-democracy applications on this platform, one for government performance monitoring and another for candidate-citizen interaction during the electoral period, as well as the results from a trial about the latter application used for the Portuguese elections held in 2009.
