FREE is an free software project creating Java electronic voting software released under the General Public License (GPL). With this software we aim to:-
- Provide a secure and private system
- Create scalable and reliable software
- Offer a non-commercial, non-partisan voting alternative
- Use the GPL to create an open system that Internet users will trust
- Release a system that can be used to support the growth of effective democracy anywhere in the world
Additionally, in support of our wider development community, the project aims to:-
- Advocate the free software paradigm
- Evangelise the use of technology to strengthen democracy within a holistic understanding of the current malaise i.e. Internet voting alone isn't going to solve turnout problems

| Discuss & Debate |
Thoughts, amendments, disagreement and all that stuff should go onto the Free-dev mailing list.

| Background |
A lot of this thinking comes out of Jason Kitcat's previous research writings. To get a background take a look at the project site where some papers are available in postscript format.
