Preferendum

Preferendum is a platform for collective decision-making where people debate, express their preferences and participate in decisions on important issues — one issue at a time — proposed by organizations, companies, professional associations, communities and public institutions. It closes the gap between consumers and corporations, between shareholders and management, between leaders and citizens — invigorating democracy across the entire planet. The platform enables structured participation around real-world, local or global matters affecting society, industries, organizations and communities. Consultations may involve public policy, institutional proposals, professional matters, economic initiatives, social issues, environmental challenges, corporate decisions or community affairs. Participants can access consultations one at a time, review information, learn from experts, debate different positions, express their preferences and contribute to transparent decision processes designed to strengthen participation and collective intelligence. Organizations and institutions can create consultations and engage communities in structured decision-making. Citizens, professionals and participants contribute their perspectives and help shape outcomes on issues that matter. This is where people come together to debate important issues and shape the future. Any verified citizen can create a consultation and ask their neighbors, their city or the entire country to vote. Results are public, verified and anchored on blockchain — no one can ignore them. FOR VOTERS: • Participate in real consultations about your neighborhood, your city or your country • Your vote is anonymous and encrypted with AES-256 • Receive a unique code to verify that your vote was counted correctly • Results delivered in real time during the voting period, increasing system security as data is saved outside the system every hour • Legitimacy Score: once voting closes, measures what percentage of voters confirmed their vote was counted correctly FOR ORGANIZERS: • Any citizen, municipality, company, NGO or political party can create a consultation • Define who can vote: by gender, age, socioeconomic level, district or country • Results verified on blockchain — with irrefutable citizen backing • Present results to authorities with proven legitimacy IDENTITY VERIFICATION (8 LAYERS): 1. Email OTP 2. SMS 3. Identity document 4. Selfie with document 5. Device verification (IMEI) 6. Geolocation 7. Blockchain Polygon 8. Phone number and SIM card verification TECHNOLOGY: • AES-256-CBC encryption on every vote • SHA-256 hash anchored on Polygon blockchain • Bridge destruction: voter_id is unlinked from the vote after recording • Unique XXXX-XXXX-XXXX verification code per vote ADVERTISING: • Sponsored ads appear between debate opinions • Targeting by real income (rental price proxy per district), age, gender and category • Advertisers pay per verified voter who saw the ad — not per scroll Preferendum is not a survey. It strengthens verified democracy. In memory of José Ignacio Fernández (1989–2024), who proved this was possible.
