Youth e-participation is one of the priorities of Lithuanian youth NGOs; however it remains a debated topic. In 2015 Lithuania’s parliament has voted against amendments to election laws that would have legalized Internet voting, and rejected the possibility of revising them, despite the fact that acound sixty-five percent of the residents in Lithuania support the implementation of online voting and the Central Electoral Commission of the Republic of Lithuania support an introduction of internet based voting.

One more debate regarding youth participation is related to the fact that some youth organisations that receive funding from the state are associated with political parties operating in Lithuania. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the extent to which projects implemented by these youth organisations are aimed at achieving the targets of the youth policy, and to which they are aimed at the propagation of ideologies of the relevants parties (Report of National Audit Office, 2016). 

In February 2024, the conference "Youth participation - between solutions and consumerism" took place in the Parliament. During the discussion, the participants spoke about the civic education of individuals and the interest of young people to participate and join youth organizations and/or groups. During the discussion, the activity of young people joining informal organizations and avoiding formal organizations was touched upon. It was noted that in order to expand and strengthen the activities of informal organizations, it is mandatory to strengthen public trust in them, which would contribute to the transparency of informal organizations and the stability of their activities. According to the data collected by the Agency of Youth Affairs, the level of the citizenship-charity indicator has particularly increased (the share of the average citizenship-charity indicator increased by 29 percent from 2020 to 2023). It was noted that in order to educate future generations who are citizens, ready for joint activities, it is necessary to encourage young people to participate in voluntary activities and organizations: Maltese, scouts, Red Cross, Riflemen's Union, etc. i.e.
