Abstract
This research analyzes and compares the implementation of digital political participation devices among the political parties of the four largest states of the CPLP in terms of population. Based on the influence and incentives of the context of each state, we expect greater adoption of participation tools among the political parties of those states most digitized and developed at the socioeconomic level. For the verification of the starting hypothesis, the information regarding the categories and study variables related to the participation was collected through the websites of the selected political parties through a systematic observation. Statistical analysis of the data obtained did not allow us to confirm the relationship between the level of general digitization, socioeconomic development, and the degree of digitization of political parties. Based on the results obtained, we propose a series of alternative explanations that may be tested in future work.

Summary
Como podemos observar na Táboa 1, existen importantes asimetrías na extensión e na utilización de internet entre os países analizados, particularmente no indicador que da conta da adopción entre a poboación de ferramentas dixitais. Nos estados da África subsaxariana, os resultados reflicten unha utilización escasa de internet entre a poboación, tanto no caso de Mozambique (0,16) como no de Angola (0,13). Pero tamén pode explicar a importante diferencia entre estados e rexións na medida en que a nivel global pódense atopar importantes desigualdades e asimetrías, tanto nos niveis de alfabetización, como no número e proporción de titulados superiores. Os factores clave asociados ao nivel educativo e á posesión de habilidades e recursos poden ser vinculados, de acordo con Vinish Kathuria e Keun Yeob (Kathuria & Yeob, 2018), á fenda na extensión da utilización das TIC que se dá entre países. As diverxencias sociais e materiais motivan que a fenda entre países, medida en termos absolutos e relativos, sexa cada vez máis pronunciada, afectando de xeito máis intenso a determinadas zonas de África continental (Kathuria & Yeob, 2018)
