Abstract
© Springer International Publishing AG 2016. Electronic Government applications are nowadays a common tool for governments across the globe. The success rate in gaining the trust of citizens/users and the rates of participation in democratic processes vary considerably from country to country. Social media have managed to capture the trust of people from all cultures and origins and appear to be the means through which e-participation can be enhanced and citizens can be attracted to engage in a secure and trusted e-democratic process. This could prove particularly useful for governments which need to serve citizens that are dispersed in locations across the world. The authors explore the level of trust shown in e-voting systems and social media among Palestinians residing in different countries and this on-going work attempts to assess the suitability of such systems in supporting a true e-democracy.
