Purpose
John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton states that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The purpose of voting was to diversify a power which represents a population (not a qualification). If inheritance in the United States Constitution exists (by formal presidence), then no citizen would be permitted to hold a civil or military office longer than a Presidents maximum term of office (eight years). Voting was a way of removing imperialism from politics. The designing of voting software today, might interfere with personal anonymity, since, in the past, the right to vote has been by registration.

Guidelines

 * 1) Software which respects the privacy of the voter should permanently record, encrypt, and transfer (by Secure Shell technology) to a permanent archive. Even public email systems would be suitable for storage of votes.
 * 2) Registering voters names should have high public visibility.
 * 3) * Issuing public-keys should be voluntary and non-partisan.
 * 4) * Community open source software averages civil and political opinion and helps to prevent fraud.
 * 5) * Wikipedia or Google_docs are not bureaucratic institutions, and with agreement could be used to produce a voluntary voter census.
 * 6) Public-keys need to be issued and secured with expiration time limits.
 * 7) * Forms served to clients, generate an encryption key when posted which is kept by the voter.
 * 8) * PBX voice mail can be encrypted and used for verification, and to increase accessibility to the voter.
 * 9) All the pages and public-keys which are issued to a voter must be individually archived during the voter's lifetime and become the private property of that voter.
 * 10) * The Fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution explains expropriation or eminent_domain and the limitations of political persuasion.
 * 11) * Encrypted public email systems preserve personal property fairly so long as they are protected.
 * 12) In case of fraud (the use of aliases) the owners of such records produce unfair business practices.
 * 13) * Holding companies
 * 14) * Shell corporations
 * 15) * Front organizations (some of which are illegal).
 * 16) If one voter gets only one vote, will voter intimidation be guaranteed not to exist?
 * 17) * Are there alternatives to privacy?
 * 18) Upon the death of the voter all records used by the government should become open to the public.
 * 19) * No civil government may use covert operations or jeprody to the citizen to justify death by unnatural causes.
