Pille:

There are two terms, which mean two different things:
1) e-democracy, which deals with online participation in any democratic 
process, i.e. formulation of petitions, sending feedback, etc. but also 
including the following:
2) e-voting, which is more likely what you're looking for - to support 
elections by using electronic voting facilities.

BTW: There is an e-democracy/e-voting working group in Austria, dealing 
with the latter: http://www.e-voting.at/main.php?l=E

Just recently, there also was the Eastern Europe E-Gov Day in Budapest. If 
you'd like to see the program: http://www.ocg.at/egov/eeegov04c.pdf

Best,

Laurent
