### Why VOTEism ?

The right of every citizen to participate in government through free and fair elections is well settled under international human rights law, as is the right to freedom of expression and to hold opinions without interference. This is where VOTEism comes in.

Current political opinion polls and [psephology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psephology) methods are riddled with low sample sizes, interviewer biases, [push poll tactics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_poll), sock-puppetry, and worst of all, the lack of security and privacy. VOTEism fixes these issues once and for all. Your vote is anonymous and encrypted. The results are published on VOTEism's mobile apps in near real-time.

### Here are some things you MUST know about VOTEism

* VOTEism is secure and private.
* VOTEism codebase is [open-source](https://github.com/VOTEism).
