What is eDemocracy?

The business of government online, also called "eDemocracy," uses the power of the Internet to bring people closer to their government. Through online information and services, eDemocracy aims to help citizens better understand their government, to encourage citizen participation in government, and to provide greater communication, access, and accountability of government.

Virginia.gov is an important part of eDemocracy, breaking down barriers between government and citizens. Now more than ever, through Virginia.gov you can complete government transactions online with ease and convenience, and you can find news, laws, forms, assistance, and information of all kinds related to state and local government.
