The e-government has an important role to play now and in the future. To compare the readiness of Latvian electronic government in past and present, the Latvian e- government readiness will be evaluated, i.e., the e-government development index changes will be analysed in the period 2008– 2012, as well as main factors influencing this index will be discussed to assess the e-government readiness in future.References
