Last
year, the Feedback Unit launched the
e-Consultation Paper webpage for all
government
agencies to post policy papers online for
feedback. It will launch the much-awaited
e-poll feature in April/May 2004.
Have you ever thought of conducting your
own poll with ease and speed? If so,
the e-poll feature of the Feedback
Unit’s Government Consultation Portal (www.feedback.gov.sg) may be just
what you are looking for.
The e-poll is one of several features being
added to the portal to enhance its value
as a consultation medium. In the works for
about 10 months, the e-poll system is now
in the final phase of testing and will be
launched soon. In “walking the talk”,
the Feedback Unit sought feedback from the
government agencies on what would make a
user-friendly and effective
e-poll facility.
The e-poll is easy to use. It is simple to
upload and disseminate poll questionnaires,
as well as to gather and analyse the findings.
The e-poll system allows the findings to
be exported from the portal to an Excel spreadsheet.
Users can then use the SPSS (Statistical
Package for Social Sciences) software for
further cross-tabulation and detailed analysis.
Government agencies are eagerly waiting to
use the
e-poll for online indicative polling.
New features have also been added to the
e-Consultation Paper webpage. Agencies can
now post several questions to obtain more
information on the profile of feedback contributors.
They can also attach documents as additional
information supporting the issue being discussed.
For the feedback contributors, they can save
their incomplete write-ups as drafts and
work on them later. They can also email the
paper to their friends. This way, they will
help to generate more feedback.
With such friendly channels available, public
consultation is now a breeze. Come on board
the Government Consultation Portal at www.feedback.gov.sg today!
