CivicSignal lets pseudonymous, verified people propose, vote on, dispute, and resolve real-world civic questions — with public evidence trails and non-transferable topic reputation.
“Votes stay hidden until cutoff. Reputation can’t be bought, transferred, or traded.”
Participants need a verified profile before voting. Today that means account, email, invite/profile, rate-limit, and abuse controls; stronger proof-of-personhood can layer in later.
No bars, no percentages, no leaderboard while a poll is open. Independent judgment is the entire point — we refuse to make herd-behavior the default.
Verified users can propose polls with source-of-truth, region, options, and resolution criteria. Moderation decisions stay visible instead of disappearing into a black box.
Trusted topic panelists review dispute evidence and resolution edge cases, preserving notes and decisions in the audit trail.
Polls begin as public proposals or admin drafts, use named resolution sources before cutoff, seal votes until tally, and publish resolution evidence plus dispute review. Anyone can re-run the audit trail.
Verified users can propose polls with a topic, region, options, source-of-truth, and resolution criteria.
Region-specific templates keep official sources and resolution criteria consistent across jurisdictions.
Resolutions include evidence, a dispute window, and trusted-panel review for hard edge cases.
All commitments and resolutions are mirrored to a public log. Re-running the audit is a one-line CLI command.
Pseudonymous voting, community proposals, sealed votes, trusted panels, disputes, source templates, and topic reputation.
Broader review workflows for community-authored polls, source curation, and proposal appeals.
More locale-specific templates, multilingual question framing, and regional panel capacity.
Reputation-gated governance over authoring rules, dispute review policy, and source curation.
The full source, governance docs, and audit tooling live on GitHub under MPL-2.0. CivicSignal will not have shareholders, advertisers, or paid placements — and that constraint is encoded in the foundation’s charter.
