Popis: Voice-based applications might become a promising novel channel for governments to engage with citizens and to provide easy-to-use and always available administrative services. To learn about citizens’ attitudes towards this “conversational e-government”, we conducted an online survey among Swiss residents (n = 397). While half of the participants tended towards not using such prospective services, 38% were positive about them. Regular users of voice assistants and participants with interest in technology showed a significantly higher willingness-to-use. The top-rated service was looking up government-related information. Advanced services (such as ordering certificates by voice) were perceived more skeptically. As trustworthy service providers the municipality and national tech companies were clearly favored over major international ones due to privacy concerns.
