虽然公众对“传统”政治参与方法的认识有很多了解，但对公众对民主创新的认识和使用，如苏格兰的旗舰公众请愿制度，却知之甚少。本文利用Ipsos MORI苏格兰公众请愿委员会于2009年进行的一项调查，研究资源限制对公众在请愿系统中的知识和参与的影响。虽然诸如上网和缺乏时间等资源限制影响人们对参与选择的了解程度，但对实际参与的影响要大得多。
While a great deal is known about public awareness of ‘traditional’ methods of political participation, far less is known about public awareness and use of democratic innovations such as Scotland's flagship public petitions system. This paper makes use of a survey conducted in 2009 by Ipsos MORI Scotland for the Public Petitions Committee to examine the influence of resource constraints on public knowledge and participation in the petitions system. While resource constraints such as internet access and lack of time influence the amount of knowledge people have of participation options, the effect is significantly greater on actual participation.
