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.
Ballot secrecy is architecture, not a setting.
The floor is open to everyone; taking part needs no title.
The rules are published and the count is checkable.
Zero-knowledge proofs protect a decision without slowing it down.
One person, one ballot — the proof fixes one nullifier per voter, and Agora's database counts it once.
