Voting
The vote here is a vote in Candeia’s internal governance. It belongs to the citizen, has equal value and must be exercised under accessible, secret and coercion-free conditions; technology, property or digital reputation do not create an additional vote.
Current statusVoting is not yet open.Proposed constitutional basis
In brief
For the voter, the rule is simple: Candeia may verify that you have the right to participate, but it must not turn that verification into a mechanism for discovering, proving or commercialising your choice.
How the Constitution structures this subject
Citizenship and age
Every citizen aged 18 or over has the right; a law may lower the age, but may not raise it above 18 without an amendment.
Support without loss of autonomy
Disability, supported decision-making or technological limitations do not remove the vote; assistance must preserve choice and secrecy.
No ordinary identity–choice linkage
The architecture separates authentication and participation from the intelligible content of the vote.
Confirm without making the proof tradable
The voter must be able to verify the handling of the vote without receiving durable evidence that facilitates vote buying or coercion.
How it works
Confirm eligibility through proportionate and accessible means.
Prove the right to participate without exposing the choice.
Record the preference in secrecy and freedom.
Confirm receipt and enable universal audit without breaking secrecy.
Limits and safeguards
- An intelligence, literacy, mental-capacity or technological-skill test may not be a condition for voting.
- A criminal conviction, economic condition, physical residence or exclusion from a digital environment does not by itself remove the vote.
- Remote voting may exist only after independent assessment, with effective mitigation of coercion and alternative channels.
