Over recent years, traditional modes of political management have been vastly improved and completed by a series of procedures which provide more room for citizen participation prior to the decision. The equipments needed for information and for the publicity of causes and their discussion are drawn from a huge pool of innovations. In this article, drawing on the case of a debate organized by elected officials who were backing a controversial local development project – namely, the development of a site for wind turbines in the north of France – we wish to examine how Information and Communication Technologies assisted the public debate on this proposal and to demonstrate how ICTs use is binding the management of the democratic procedure as a whole.
