Three e-government applications, e-democracy, e-participation and e-voting are discussed and an analysis of the impact that these inclusive applications have had on the general population, where they have been used is given. As the terms are closely linked, they are further elaborated upon as they have impact on each other. E-voting implies e-participation which would further imply e-democracy. The impact of these applications at various levels of society mainly government, civil society and non-governmental organisations as well as on the general population is considered, and whether these applications have led to governments being able to reach a bigger part of the population through an increase in participation in civic activities and achieved greater turnout, for example, in elections. The criteria for assessing the impact of the applications are: (1) Demand for the applications and the need to access them; (2) Accessibility of the applications; (3) Availability of national e-strategies; (4) Quality of the content being provided and (5) Cost of providing and accessing the applications available. The discussion ends with what the expected or preferred impact would be as well as specific proposals and strategies that may be used for effective impact of these specific applications.
