cryptelection

free societies require elections whose results do not depend on trust in a single authority

every eligible voter receives one cryptographic voting credential and may cast exactly one encrypted vote

each vote is signed verified and recorded on a public distributed ledger no recorded vote can be modified removed or secretly added

the ledger reveals that a vote exists not who cast it nor its content

after voting each participant receives a transaction identifier allowing independent verification that their vote was included

when voting ends encrypted ballots are collectively decrypted or tallied through public cryptographic protocols no individual authority can alter the outcome

any person may independently verify the integrity of the election from the public ledger and the published proofs

the legitimacy of an election should arise from mathematics open verification and distributed consensus rather than institutional trust
