Situation
Although dealing with digital transformation is a central issue in politics, it plays only a marginal role in the election campaign. Voters therefore lack the basis for an informed election decision: How do the candidates position themselves on important digital policy issues? What form should the digital transformation take and what political measures should be taken to achieve it?
Course of action
The core element of the project is the questionnaire. In a first step, a participatory process of collecting questions will take place until the end of February 2023, in which the entire interested community can participate online. Based on this and with the expertise of the involved academic partners and "smartvote", the definitive questionnaire will then be developed. The survey of the candidates will take place in cooperation with "smartvote" from mid-June. From August, the digital profiles of the candidates will be available to the general public on a public web app. At the same time, data analyses will be made available to the media.
