Streszczenie: In 2011, a Referendum on the dissolution of the Parliament was held in Latvia. The Referendum results showed that the majority of the electorate want a change - it is neither satisfied with the previous democracy form of the parties, nor with the manifestation of them in the activity of the state and local governments. This article looks at the tendency to involve the public more broadly in opinion polls, ballots and referendums on controversial and sensitive issues. The article reveals that the direct democracy forms of using modern information technology lead to the confrontation with the existing administrative system and encourages reforming it.
