“…However, like many of the other technologies employed by political campaigns, campaign apps can present a source of concern with respect to the degree of transparency of their own functioning and can be sometimes invasive with respect to the voter data they collect and their use for political purposes. In any case, online intra-party decisionmaking requires effective rules guaranteeing the transparency and accountability of the voting/decision processes and verifiability of the votes (Nostitz and Sandri, 2021). This can be achieved by the use of opensource software and an independent audit of each edecision, but-often-political parties fall short of the required standards (Deseriis, 2020).…”

Open government (OG) is an increasingly used management model among the public administrations of European countries and of the European Union, which is currently working on The Path to the Digital Decade. This supposes the application of measures to promote proximity and citizenship's prominence in many public policies, leading to improved quality of democracy. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to a forced digitalization of many public services. Despite the fact that studies on OG do not usually focus on them, political parties are essential actors for the success or failure of OG measures, both from a bottom-up and a top-down perspective, on public administration transformation. Moreover, political parties are transforming themselves into more open organizations at the same time. We define open parties as political parties with high standards in transparency, participation, and collaboration. They also feature high degrees of organizational digitalization. This article proposes a framework for analyzing political parties' openness and explores available empirical data on different aspects related to OG in the European context. We have found that most parties possess a good level of local organizational strength but still need to reach better levels of anticorruption commitment, to form stronger ties with affiliated organizations, and especially to improve the participation of members and activists in their decision-making. Furthermore, elitism, clientelism, and populistic rhetoric represent significant obstacles that could hinder the party reform process.

Research on voters’ trust in i-voting has been exclusively related to building trust in the process of i-voting adoption, with no work addressing the question of trust repair. This article introduces a framework for trust repair in i-voting by integrating insights from trust repair in other research areas, as well as concepts developed for and used in the e-voting literature. The article traces the process of trust repair from the different beliefs influencing voters’ trust in both the human and technological dimensions of an i-voting system, through the influence of the internal and external stakeholders, to trust violations and the i-voting organisers’ strategies for trust repair and the ‘arsenal’ of measures at their disposal. The article highlights the importance of detecting the emergence of events that may violate trust among voters, understanding the severity and dimensions of trust violation, and strategically navigating trust repair. It also outlines open questions and identifies avenues for future research.
