The Problem

India's elections
are not built for us.

01
EVMs are a black box
Years of controversy with no verifiable audit trail.
02
Voting punishes mobility
Students, migrants, urban youth — designed out of the process.
03
Youth are ignored, not apathetic
The system does not represent us. The response is rational.
It Has Been Done

Digital voting
is not a hypothesis.

🇪🇪
Estonia51% online in 2023
Internet voting since 2005. Zero breaches in 20 years.

The infrastructure exists. The barrier is political will.

Tell us what you actually think.

8 questions. Anonymous. Aggregated and published.

TECHNOLOGY01 / 08
Should India replace EVMs with fingerprint-based voting?
India already has Aadhaar — 1.3 billion biometric enrollments. The infrastructure exists.
ACCESS02 / 08
Have you ever skipped voting because it was too inconvenient?
Long queues, relocated booths, midweek elections — voting is designed for a different India.
ENGAGEMENT03 / 08
What is the real reason young Indians are stepping away from politics?
Only 44% of 18–25 year olds voted in 2024 — the lowest of any age group.
GOVERNANCE04 / 08
India spent an estimated ₹1.35 lakh crore on the 2024 election. Your verdict?
The costliest election in human history. Mostly unaccounted.
ECONOMY05 / 08
Why do India's most talented people choose to leave?
India loses more skilled professionals to emigration than any other country.
INTEGRITY06 / 08
What concerns you most about the way India runs its elections?
When the process is questioned, even the right result loses legitimacy.
PARTICIPATION07 / 08
If you could vote from your phone with your fingerprint, would you vote more?
Estonia introduced digital voting in 2005. By 2023, 51% of Estonians voted online.
REPRESENTATION08 / 08
Should India lower the voting age below 18?
16 countries allow voting at 16 or 17. The world is moving.
