Expression
Expressão (lit. Expression) is a tool created in 2016 after the e-democracy website was redesigned by the Laboratório Hacker da Câmara dos Deputados (lit. Hacker of the Chamber of Deputies Laboratory). Any citizen can initiate a discussion on hot topics in the Chamber of Deputies ? and not necessarily on legislative proposals as in the case of the Wikilegis tool. Citizens can easily navigate by theme through an interactive design that filters relevance, statistics of users and subject matter. Like Wikilegis, Expressão is also being tested and so far presents no indication of the impact had on the legislative agenda via the discussions created on the platform.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
