Parliament in Mobile

The Parliament is now on your mobile phone...

Voting Turkish citizens see democratic participation as merely going to the polls during election periods. However, democratic participation requires representatives to take into account the opinions, information and suggestions of citizens in decision-making processes, while democracy should be spread to the grassroots and governance approaches that can meet the wishes of the people should be built in politics. One of the most important elements to strengthen democratic participation is to contribute to the formation of an informed voter profile. Parliament in Mobile aims to contribute to the formation of an informed voter profile by informing voters about the activities carried out in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and municipal councils through a mobile application that they can install on their smart phones in a short and concise manner. It will also reach apolitical young people easily through mobile phones, which are widely used among young people, and keep them informed about the political agenda. Parties will be forced to develop more result-oriented and more effective policies and politics in the face of an informed voter profile, thus creating an environment for the development of idea-oriented politics rather than person-oriented politics. The word will be taken away from the representatives and given to the nation, the real owner. Today, internet technologies have reached an important point in terms of information sharing.

Classical media such as radio and television have lost their impartiality and reliability of information on the electorate, and with the development of internet technologies, the opportunity to access accurate information through so-called new media (social media, mobile applications, etc.) has increased. Parliament in Mobile application consists of membership/profile, notification wall, search and filtering, advertisement, management panel and raffle/awarding sections and components. It will be prepared in Turkish language for Turkish voters. Parliament in Mobile will take its place on the phones of millions of voters in a very short time in order to strengthen democratic participation in our country and spread democracy to the grassroots.
