MANIFESTO
The floor is public; your name is yours.
Democracy is being able to make yourself heard without having to say who you are. Agora builds that into the architecture rather than the policy.
“Every citizen’s vote must be counted; no citizen’s vote must be followed.”
That you took part is provable. What you chose is not.
Results are anchored on a ledger the organisation running a poll can check against a tamper-evident record, rather than take our word for.
Technology here is not ornament. It is the part of the promise that does not depend on our good behaviour.
PRIVACY
Ballot secrecy is architecture, not a setting.
INCLUSIVITY
The floor is open to everyone; taking part needs no title.
TRANSPARENCY
The rules are published and the count is checkable.
INNOVATION
Zero-knowledge proofs protect a decision without slowing it down.
FAIRNESS
One person, one ballot — enforced by the proof, not by policy.
