On a scale of 0 to 100, the DigiPart-Index measures the extent to which it is possible to participate digitally in political processes in Switzerland’s cantons. In the third survey year, the average score across all cantons remains relatively low.

This short paper presents seven short case studies on digital political participation in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Canada and Japan. Digital political participation is measured with the DigiPartIndex (DPI). In the analysed countries we find different levels of digital political participation with DPI-scores ranging between 33 and 65 points.
