Vocdoni's vision is to improve democratic health and promote participatory governance using decentralized and open-source technology.
Vocdoni's mission is to build a censorship-resistant, secure and transparent voting protocol to facilitate decision-making for communities and organizations.
Vocdoni began in 2018 with the development and successful testing of a digital voting protocol in the general assembly of an association with 30,000 members. In 2019, the protocol was improved and a beta version of a mobile app was released, allowing users to create identities, follow organizations, and vote. The app was used by over 50 organizations by the end of the year.
In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way people interacted socially. In response, many countries passed legislation allowing digital voting, both for institutional and private purposes. Vocdoni adapted to this change, pivoting from a mobile app to a web app to make it more accessible to all users. The largest cultural association in Europe, Òmnium Cultural, conducted its General Assembly and election with a census of over 180,000 members, using this web app

Composability
A composable system is one that consists of several modular components that can be arranged in various ways or replaced with easily adaptable interfaces to external systems. This principle enables redundancy between the layers of the system. Any configuration of hardware, centralized or decentralized, is possible. Composability also allows for modular integration with third parties. This is exemplified by our work on offering voting-as-a-service, a service that allows the voting stack to be integrated into external applications with a simple set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
Accessibility
Accessibility is a two-fold principle that entails both availability and usability. Any voting solution must be universally available to all members of a voting population. An accessible user interface should be intuitive to those who are less familiar with technology and accommodating to disabled voters who may require non-standard interfaces to digital technology (e.g. screen readers).
