The baloti.ch project shows the difficulties in engaging the disenfranchised in the political process using e-participation apps

Can a society be peaceful, prosperous, and happy when 25% of the population lack political rights on the national level? Uwe Serdült thinks not, and helped build an app to provide informal voting rights using an e-participation app for use in Swiss referendums. Although the app wasn’t a resounding success, it did provide an opportunity for disenfranchised people to participate in the national political process for the first time.
