On 25 January 2023, the IPU’s Centre for Innovation in Parliament held a webinar as part of the launch of the World e-Parliament Report 2022. The event looked at how the period of “enforced innovation” brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic had affected parliamentary working methods and practices.
In this case study, we look at Virtual Congress, a digital participation and engagement platform used by the National Congress of Chile. Members of the public can use the system to consult, review, and comment and vote on legislative proposals before parliament.
