Abstract

Since the global debut of participatory budgeting (PB) in 1989, the pilot case in Slovakia in 2011 until the post-covid present, PB takes on many different shapes and forms. Despite several common characteristics, the use of information and communications technologies (ICT) in Slovakia for PB purposes remains extremely fragmented. That is why this article, as the first of its kind, presents an overview of the individual processes of participatory budgeting and the extent to which municipalities in Slovakia use ICT and the online environment to bring them closer to citizens. This article presents the results of exploratory research and analyses the degree of digitization of participatory budgeting processes in Slovakia at the level of local governments.
