Agora

Agora is a blockchain-based voting ecosystem allowing anyone anywhere to vote online from a digital device in a fully secure, easy and certain way. Disrupting slow, costly and malleable current electoral procedures, we developed a blockchain solution to succeed where traditional methods have struggled. Our end-to-end verifiable voting technology eradicates fraud and corruption by creating a complete, auditable, undisputable, open and transparent record of the election on a custom blockchain.
