Help decide what the e-Parliament will do.

As in any parliamentary body, the e-Parliament's work is guided by the participating legislators. Polling questions to set priorities on key issues are sent out to legislators by e-mail and fax.While the legislators are the decision-makers within the e-Parliament, any other participant can cast an "advisory vote".
