What is VOTEism
The Votes App.
VOTEism is open-source, not-for-profit, and proudly secured by the Fundamental Principles of Democracy, the 1st Amendment of the United States (for USA) & Public Key Cryptography.
The 🦠 Covid-19 situation forced many things to shift online. We wondered what it would be like to conduct democratic elections online. While that is the far-far future, we set about building something that could get us a step closer towards that future.
VOTEism is a secure political opinion poll app to express your preference for one electoral candidate or the other.
Let us know if you want VOTEism in your country ([email protected]).
Current political opinion polls are riddled with low sample sizes, interviewer biases, push poll tactics, self voting sock-puppets, and worst of all, the lack of privacy. ⏱️ Time to change that. VOTEism seeks to fix opinion polls.
Your vote is encrypted with a public key 🔏 and is decrypted with the private key on a non cloud system. Anonymized and aggregated results are published on the VOTEism mobile apps.
- VOTEism is voluntary and free to use.
- You can change your vote any time. Only your latest vote will be counted.
- VOTEism does not serve paid advertisements.
- VOTEism does not sell your private information.
- The results of VOTEism's opinion polls are free to use by anyone.
- VOTEism is built, published and funded by a small and independent software company (AskDesis INC.) based in the United States. We have no political, governmental, corporate, or media affiliation.
