The Venice Commission participated in a meeting of the Working group on democracy and technology (GT-DT) of the European Committee on Democracy and Governance (CDDG).
The working group’s mandate is to do the preparatory work for the CDDG study on digital transformation and its impact on democracy and governance. The group also prepares the recommendations and guidelines on new technologies and the different stages of the electoral process.
A representative of the Venice Commission presented its work in this area, in particular the “Draft principles for a fundamental rights - compliant use of digital technologies in electoral processes” which are to be adopted by the Venice Commission during its December 2020 plenary session.
