Blockchain App
Free and Equal's revolutionary blockchain app Vote Free lets you vote for who you want to see in our debates and who wins our debates. You choose which questions we ask the candidates, and after the debate, you decide who wins. Our app has been used to cast over 100,000 votes already, all of them securely in the blockchain for permanent record keeping. Partnering with Nexus.IO's revolutionary 3D blockchain, we will demonstrate that American elections can be held on a deeply secure, publicly verifiable, and maximally transparent platform.
And we're just getting started. Blockchain voting will transform our elections and bring needed transparency to the electoral process. We aim to level the playing field by providing a decentralized information hub beyond traditional and social media.

PROVEN RESULTS
Our February and July 2024 Presidential debates gave voters three opportunities to select the candidates they align with most. Our February debate candidates were chosen by voters, as well as the winners of the February and July debates. See it in action with this example from February:
APP DEVELOPMENT VISION
Our app will partner with political integrity technology firm WeVote to have a full database of the statements and votes that the candidate has previously made on the subjects they are debating. And we’ll have their financial contributors so you know who’s behind them. That way, you can become your own fact checker in real time and determine for yourself how much was true, how much you agreed with, and vote after the debate accordingly.
This will include:
Phase 1 - Polling
- Debates, expansions of responses to debate questions, and allowing other candidates to provide answers as well
- Database of every candidate running for office – Democrats, Republicans, Alternative Party Candidates, Independents
- Candidate details including biographical information, voting record, debate archives, and campaign contributions
- Educational videos from subject matter experts
- ID Verification to ensure voting reflects the will of every legal voter
Free and Equal has hosted Presidential, Vice Presidential, Senatorial, and Gubernatorial debates in its 16-year history. We will expand beyond that to host debates across the country at all levels of government. Each will have our self-fact-checking format, enabling political transparency where it matters most: your district. We will start with Congressional races in the 2026 cycle, using our proven method to run the best debates in the United States.
Phase 2 - Voter Empowerment
We aim to become a hub for unbiased information on major political issues and elections from an independent perspective. We endeavor to inform the American public to empower more Americans to get involved in their communities and understand the political process. That’s why Vote Free will be expanded to include our Voter Support Hub, where we will provide voters with relevant information.
- How to register to vote
- How to research and volunteer for the candidates on their ballot
- How to help a candidate get on the ballot
- How to donate to and raise funds for a candidate
- How to encourage someone to run for office
Phase 3 - Candidate Empowerment
As more people are better able to understand how to engage with the political process, some will inevitably realize that they could represent their communities better than their current representatives. Free and Equal will be there to support them with our Candidate Support Hub, built by veterans of independent politics to provide the candidate-curious.
- How to get on the ballot
- How to fundraise
- How to campaign and district research
- How to assemble paid and volunteer staff
- How to develop strategy and policy plans
Colin Cantrell, founder of Nexus.IO, describes what is possible for such a portal. We hope you join us as we build a more free and equal future.
Our debate platform leverages blockchain technology to select the candidates who make it to the stage. Powered by Nexus.io, each vote is recorded as a tamper-proof transaction on the blockchain, ensuring the integrity and fairness of the selection process. This decentralized approach empowers the community to democratically choose debaters based on merit and popularity, reducing risk of manipulation or bias.
