Abstract
With a growing demand of online participation, more local authorities are engaging with residents through online-participation projects in order to include them within decision-making processes. However, some groups are more difficult to reach and are often forgotten when it comes to political participation: migrants and refugees. Studies have shown that political participation can help migrants and refugees in settling within their host country. Therefore, it is necessary that refugees have the opportunity of participating in local and national politics as well. In order to find out how migrants and refugees can be reached via online participation, this paper will look at several projects of online participation and determine solutions of how migrants and refugees can get more involved within their community through online participation as a non-formal way of participating politically. The results will help local authorities in establishing tools to effectively involve migrants and refugees within local politics.
