| Abstract | There are several ways the telephone system may be used for opinion polling and public participation in discussions. The easiest method is individual call-ins to a series of different telephone numbers that each represent a different choice or vote. The only extra equipment needed here is a device that tabulates the total number of calls reaching each number. However any sharp increase in demand for connections to a given telephone exchange can severely overload the telephone system. An alternative is to use an automatic interrogation device that sequentially calls all the participants in a discussion and either asks for their votes or collects votes stored in small attachments on each participant's telephone. Using this technique, some 50,000 participants distributed among 50 central telephone offices could have their votes tabulated and relayed to a central location in about 70 seconds. This technique will be the basis for experiments with citizen feedback in the MINERVA Project being run by The Center for Policy Research. (MG) |
