Abstract
“Civil participation levels have been in a state of decline in recent years [1]. Participation is an important aspect of an equal and fair democracy; this goes beyond voting and includes formal and informal civil activities [2]. There is great potential for digital tools (e-participation) to empower citizens to utilize the power of crowdsourcing [3, 4, 5, 6,7]. However, increasing participation will take more than designing tools that afford participation; new ways to motivate citizens must be developed [8]. There is a growing call to develop gamified e-participation tools to increase user motivation [9, 10, 11, 12]. This paper investigates the use of gamification in the domain of a civil engagement crowdsource app (CEC).”
