Share

Greece ranks among the lowest in the European Union for online civic engagement, according to a recent Eurostat report. In 2023, only 3.6% of Greek individuals aged 16 to 74 used the internet to participate in online consultations or voting on civic or political issues, such as urban planning or signing petitions.

This figure places Greece near the bottom of the EU rankings, with only Cyprus (2.2%) and Slovenia (3.5%) reporting lower participation rates.

The report highlights a broader trend of increased online engagement across the EU, with an average of 8.5% of individuals participating in online consultations or voting in 2023, up from 7.4% in 2011. Estonia (26.6%), Malta (20.6%), and Finland (16.4%) led the EU in digital civic participation.
