This is a study about the participatory platforms of the Brazilian legislative power, which were created in order to provoke cooperation among citizens and between them and the parliamentarians so that the porosity between the political and civil sphere enables the population to recognize themselves on the normative production. This concern emerges in a context of democratic deficits and discussion of the legitimacy of the current political representation. Given this scenario, it becomes inevitable to question to what extent the platforms dedicated to participatory legislation, e-Democracy, connected to the Chamber Of Deputies, and e-citizenship, linked to the Senate, successfully generated a significant citizen participation and reflect it in the legislative making, as well as have the power to contribute to the construction of e-democracy. The methodology used for the production of the work was the deductive approach method of and monographic procedure methods, as well as the bibliographical, documentary and direct observation, systematic and nonparticipating research techniques used were. The study was conducted in two parts, the first being a literature review from a group of authors, rescuing many aspects of the current democratic system and the problematic aspects related to it to the possibility of building an e-democracy. The second part of the study was an analysis of the brazilian federal legislative power participative platforms, quantitatively observing the popular support to the platforms from the beginning until now as well as verifying the presence or absence of mention of this discussion during the legislative process, to assess the political relevance of these platforms. At the end, in possession of the set of raised information was verified that the e- Democracy and e-Citizenship platforms approach the perception of citizen contributions differently, the first has a structure that enables dialogical and deeper levels of participation while the second raises participation in significantly higher volumes. In both cases, however, it became clear that the citizen contributions are not seen as essential and guiding legislative direction, still resting in the political class all driven power of normative production.
