Online voting

About

This page is about designing an online voting system that is practical and trustable for real-world decisions.

Goals

• Must be truly democratic rather than merely providing the appearance of democracy (cf our current system)
• Must behave sanely -- major decisions should be made only after all points of view have been aired and discussed
• Must be transparent and accountable
• Must avoid concentrations of power
  • Decentralized, peer-driven
• Should be as immune as possible to problems with current voting methods, including gerrymandering and the party duopoly

Subpages

• preventing fraud
