Additionally, however, local governments said that two other important reasons for e-government were to save money and to facilitate citizen participation or e-democracy. It is not possible to know from one question in a survey what local governments fully intended when they said that they adopted e-government in part to save money or to facilitate e-participation or e-democracy. And clearly, we cannot know whether these or, indeed, other intended outcomes have been realized. Therefore, the impacts of e-government should continue to be on the research agendas of scholars studying this phenomenon.
