Preliminary analysis of individual candidates’ websites for the 2009 elections (version 0.5)
The first phase of the analysis conducted by the Metamorphosis Foundation indicates that 93% of the candidates for mayors are not using the internet for promotion, and most of the ones that are actually using it, are using just a fraction of its potential for communicating with the citizens. Almost all the presidential candidates have a website, but the only female presidential candidate does not have her own website, and is instead promoted through the website of her political party.
