Abstract
PERIKLIS platform encourages citizen participation and supports sophistication of electronic government services by leveraging the capabilities of location based services, social networks and web 2.0 technologies. In this paper a structured analysis is adopted for identifying the advantages, from the digital transformation of the government transactions and the electoral processes, exploring the notion of society members and the benefits for better life conditions through electronic transactions in a Municipality. Adopting a computing approach for e-government and voting methodologies with an easy setup and completion by its members is investigated, reviewing the availability of services through mobile and web based systems, coupled with geo location services. Furthermore, PERIKLIS proposes a high level e-governance and e-voting solution for a municipality while investigating issues that require further research for exploitation and interoperability with more than one Municipalities.
