Debate Report Limited
We build platforms for free and open debate and voting — accessible to everyone, in every community, from a family deciding where to holiday to a nation choosing its direction.
Our vision
Every community — however large or small — needs a way to explore issues together, understand different perspectives, and make decisions that everyone can get behind. That means structured debate alongside trustworthy voting: not one without the other.
Communities come in every shape. A family unit deciding how to spend a shared budget. A local residents' group planning a neighbourhood project. A trade union balloting on industrial action. A political party choosing its next leader. A nation setting its course. The same need runs through all of them: a fair, transparent, and genuinely private way to express a view and have it counted accurately.
Our aim is to make that possible at every scale — and to make it accessible to everyone, not just organisations with the budget for enterprise voting software.
Our platforms today
Our debating platform enables structured, asynchronous online debate — letting communities explore issues, hear multiple perspectives, and build shared understanding without requiring everyone to be online at the same time. Think of it as a structured forum where arguments are organised, evidenced, and easy to follow.
Votercare Poll lets you quickly and easily design a poll with any number of questions. The app generates a unique link and a set of access codes that voters use to submit their responses — tallied anonymously or linked to a voter identity, as you choose. Organisers can also enable sophisticated cryptographic tools that further safeguard the integrity of the vote count.
Votercare Elect brings additional safeguards to the balloting process: manual voter eligibility assessments, tamper-resistant vote counting, and independent trustee oversight. Elect is suited to contexts where integrity and privacy are essential — regional and national elections, or formal referendums on sensitive topics. The digital platform is largely built and tested; the Trusted Third-Party Network is in early-stage development. Contact us if you have any questions or want to know more.
Coming next
The logical next step after asynchronous debate and digital voting is bringing them together in real time. We're working towards live online debate streaming with live voting — so an audience can watch a structured debate unfold and cast their view at any moment, with results updating in real time.
Further down the line: in-person events — village-hall-style debates where a community gathers physically, hears from speakers, debates the issues, and votes on the spot. The same cryptographic guarantees that protect online votes will apply in the room.
The thread running through all of it is the same: structured, fair debate paired with voting that communities can trust absolutely.
Our approach to technology
We don't build on trust alone — we build on proof. Every security claim traces to a peer-reviewed cryptographic protocol: Semaphore for zero-knowledge eligibility proofs, ElectionGuard for threshold trustee decryption, Shamir's Secret Sharing for key management, and the Benaloh challenge for cast-as-intended verification. No novel cryptography invented from scratch.
Voter identity and privacy are protected at the protocol level— not by policy or promises. The system is designed so that no central database of voters exists, no individual vote is ever readable by the operator, and no single party can alter the result. These aren't aspirations; they are mathematical properties of the system.
All code will be open source and independently auditable. Before any real election runs through Votercare Elect, an independent third-party cryptographic audit is a non-negotiable prerequisite. Our value proposition is being provably more trustworthy than the alternative — and that claim requires independent verification to mean anything.
“I built Voter.Care because I believe open debate and trustworthy voting should be available to every community — not just those with the budget for enterprise solutions. The technology to do this properly already exists. We just need to put it in the right place.”Connect on LinkedIn
