Sumario:The purpose of this research is to investigate the user participation in the websites e-Democracia and Votenaweb, from the theoretical standpoint of deliberation and online conversation. The online participation has its both its advanced by the possibilities of tools, but retains problems of access and quality of participation, lack of engagement and disinterest in political discussions. The research is developed through a descriptive evaluation of sites, a content analysis of citizen participation and a comparison between the particularities of each site. This dissertation shows that, in general, the sites carry, through their tools, the role of bringing citizen closer the legislative process, whether in an informal way, closer to conversational processes, as in the case of Votenaweb, or in more formal and argumentative ways, as in the case of e-Democracia. To a lesser extent, the sites play also a role in tightening the gap between citizens and their elected representatives. Regarding the content of the comments, different categories are identified as essential elements of deliberative democracy, in order to identify it´s different and possible levels, as well as the determination of actions mediated by the tools provided by the examined media devices, noting also to which extent that kind of participation contributes - or could contribute - to citizenship. About the comparison are shown the differences between the two sites, aspects that are inferred from primary difference between them: the fact that an experiment has been organized by the society, Votenaweb, and another organized by the State, in case the e-Democracia responsibility of the Chamber of Deputies. It analyzes the possibilities and limitations of the tools, in addition to meeting the targets proposed in its objectives. The research points to a finding of supply, in both sites, significant potential of participatory tools, but that, in fact, the uses of these tools and levels of interaction between the participants are still unsatisfactory. Finally, other elements are highlighted: the need for political and administrative structures more porous and the indication that institutional and non-institutional sites should act in a complementary way to participate in this offer, due to the different dynamic languages, public access and interference in the field political.
