## Summary

Iranians.vote is a fork of the Freedom Tool app that lets Iranian passport holders anonymously vote "NO CONFIDENCE" in the Islamic Republic and its elections. The post's author, an Iranian activist, says they met the Rarimo protocol team at the EthKyiv hackathon in Kyiv, where they decided to fork the app after learning it was first used by the Russian opposition for a parallel election. Freedom Tool uses zero-knowledge cryptography, with the proof-of-passport generated on the user's device so that voters do not reveal their identity. The post notes that Vitalik Buterin promoted Freedom Tool as a foundation for digital democracy.

gm from my final day in Kyiv 🇺🇦

At the @EthKyiv_ hackathon last week, my fellow Iranian activist @Armantorkzaban and I were fortunate enough to meet the @Rarimo_protocol team who built http://FreedomTool.org. 

@VitalikButerin, who was also in Kyiv last week, made headlines yesterday when he promoted Freedom Tool as a foundation for digital democracy. See the clip:

Freedom Tool is an app that uses Zero-Knowledge cryptography to allow users to anonymously vote on polls & elections. 

The proof-of-passport is generated on the user's device, so the user can vote without revealing their identity.

The Ukrainian devs worked hard to ensure the security of the system; it was first used to help the Russian opposition troll the Russian elections by holding their own parallel election. 😂

Inspired, we decided to fork it into "Iranians Vote" and use it to troll the illegitimate Islamic Republic elections which started *checks notes* today. 😇

Announcing: https://Iranians.vote

Starting today, Iranians passport holders can use the Iranians Vote to anonymously vote "NO CONFIDENCE" in the Islamic Republic & their "elections".
