Abstract

The innovation process of information and communication technologies have led to an increasing engagement of the population in political activities. Political techs emerge as an innovation to facilitate access to information and analysis of candidates during elections. They are used to monitor government actions and agendas, encouraging participation and civic engagement. This research analyzes citizen engagement through political techs adopted in elective mandates in the Brazilian Legislature after the general elections of 2018. The quantitative approach used a multivariate method of structural equation modeling with the application of a face-to-face survey with a sample of 467 university students. As a result, from the political techs, a model is proposed that allows the analysis by the citizens to inspect and participate in the decisions about the resources invested in the public policies and actions, being possible, thus, to foment the citizen’s engagement.
