Today we are taking the first step towards this," he said at the presentation of the Diia Summit new digital services in Kyiv on Tuesday.

In particular, according to the president, a questionnaire is being launched in Diia as the first tool of digital democracy, which will allow you to find out people's opinion on any issue in real time.

"And for all of us, this Is actually the start of digital democracy," he said.

Zelensky said the first question is: "Which of the new services in Diia is the most useful: change of place of registration, police clearance certificate, proper user or survey.

Another issue at Diia will be the choice of a name for a new service that will provide free smartphones to people over 60 years of age.

Among the options voiced by the President: "Grandmother," "e-Grandfather" and "eGrandmother" or "e-Smartphone."

Zelensky said the questionnaires are already available in Diia, and also announced the following polls.

"Now this is about holding a referendum in Diia. Since this is a separate law and a separate legal 'dimension.' But the government will be able to conduct polls, individual public agencies and ministries will be able to conduct polls," Deputy Prime Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said at a briefing, commenting on the launch of the polls.
