The historical development of civil society is accompanied by the ever-increasing need to improve the participation of citizens. The structures of civil society pursue the private interests of citizens and their ability to express their opinions. The greatest development of civil society is not just establishing democratic regimes, but also providing real opportunities for citizens to express their opinions, interact with public authorities to realise their subjective rights and legal interests and establish mechanisms for a productive and systematic cooperation between the state, society, individual citizens and organisations to solve current and prospective issues. E-democracy is a fairly well-known notion, but because of its multi-dimensional nature, it is generally insufficiently studied. The Council of Europe in 2009 defined the basic legal parameters of e-democracy, including improving people's participation in democratic processes, transparency and public accountability, remote communication and electronic workflow. Different practices of e-democracy after 2009 were increased and transformed substantially, covering many different areas of private interests, which suggest the direct influence of e-democracy on the development of civil society.
