Elections and democracy
Candeia elections are the mechanism proposed for choosing representatives and deciding matters of the system’s internal governance. They are not public elections of any real-world country. The proposed design combines equal suffrage, pluralism, ballot secrecy, independent verifiability, an autonomous electoral authority and prompt challenge procedures.
Current statusNo Candeia election is currently under way.Proposed constitutional basis
In brief
Electoral rights are designed so that political participation does not depend on wealth, party membership, technical skill, exclusive biometrics or loyalty to the Government. Technology serves the process; it does not determine who may vote or which result is legally valid.
How the Constitution structures this subject
Popular sovereignty
Elections, referendums, initiatives, petitions, consultations and representative institutions are constitutional channels of participation.
One person, one vote
Property, a company, token, persona, economic contribution or automated agent does not multiply electoral power.
Secrecy + verifiability
The system must make it possible to verify correctness without producing a transferable receipt that reveals an individual choice.
Collegiate certification
Audit and software produce evidence; final certification of a Candeia result belongs to the National Electoral Commission.
How it works
The calendar, eligibility rules, ballot and technical version must be defined before the election.
Registration, candidacies, campaigning and voting follow public and accessible requirements.
Observation, testing and independent audit examine the actual system used.
Only after reconciliation and audit may the competent authority certify the result.
Limits and safeguards
- GOV.CANDEIA does not collect votes, register actual candidacies or declare a winner.
- No provider, administrator, Founding Architect, Government or auditor may replace the National Electoral Commission in certification.
- No election is presented as existing before there is an actual electoral process and actual publication.
