Grand Bill No. 2026-EGA-03 VOTE PASSED
The E-Governance Act (Grand Bill No. 2026-EGA-03) establishes the E-Grand Assembly as the official digital legislative body of the Republic of Checkland, providing a structured way for E-Citizens and non-resident participants to engage in government. The Act allows the E-Grand Assembly to debate policy, draft legislation, issue resolutions, and conduct advisory consultations, while clearly affirming that all binding legal authority remains with the physical Grand Assembly. It creates a framework for membership, terms, and conduct, and authorizes the creation of E-Ministries under the Prime Minister to manage digital governance. By promoting transparency, public access to proceedings, and oversight by the Grand Assembly, the Act strengthens online civic participation without diminishing the authority of Checkland’s constitutional institutions.

The Digital Grand Assembly (DGA) is the online legislative body of the Republic of Checkland. It debates, proposes, and votes on laws and national matters.

Conducted entirely online, the DGA ensures accessible, transparent, and modern democratic governance.
