What are the requirements for free and fair elections?
Answers
Answer:
Voters today demand greater transparency in their elections. Two-and-a-half years ago, Agora’s team set out to build a blockchain voting system that succeeds where traditional systems have struggled. Through this process, we have developed a template of characteristics that we believe are necessary for election results to be trusted.
According to Agora, a free and fair election must minimally satisfy the following requirements:
Transparency. Each step of the election process should be easily understood and open to scrutiny by all stakeholders (voters, political parties, outside observers and others). All results should be independently verifiable and auditable.
Privacy. The choices that each voter makes should remain private both during and after the election.
Integrity. Only eligible voters should be allowed to vote, and those votes must be protected from any alteration or exclusion.
Affordability. The election process must be affordable to governments and its citizens in order to maintain sovereignty.
Accessibility. All eligible voters, regardless of location, group membership or disability, should have reasonable and equal opportunity to cast their ballot
