Eligo eVoting Launches Low-Coercion and Verifiable Digital Voting Protocol in the U.S.
Eligo eVoting has announced the U.S. launch of its secure digital voting protocol, built on the principles of low coercion and end-to-end verifiability (E2E-VIV). The platform ensures privacy, eliminates vote manipulation, and reinforces trust without requiring a central scrutiny authority.
This next-generation solution is already used by leading multinational corporations, trade unions, universities, and public institutions across Europe and Latin America. Now, Eligo aims to empower U.S. organizations, both public and private, with a system that guarantees voter autonomy and result integrity from start to finish.
A new era of transparent voting
Traditional digital voting systems often rely on internal oversight to verify accuracy and trustworthiness. Eligo's innovative online voting system removes that dependency through a self-verifying cryptographic framework. Its end-to-end verifiable architecture allows voters to independently confirm that their vote was cast as intended, recorded as cast, and counted as recorded, all while preserving complete anonymity.
At the same time, the system incorporates low coercion protocols to minimize the risk of undue influence during the voting process. This ensures that votes are not only secure, but genuinely free expressions of the voter's will, even in remote or hybrid voting environments.
'We developed this protocol to help organizations run secure, independent, and transparent elections,' said Irene Pugliatti, CEO of Eligo eVoting. 'By combining low coercion with end-to-end verifiability, we're supporting confidence in digital voting processes worldwide.'
Security without complexity
What sets Eligo apart is its ability to combine state-of-the-art online voting security with a user-friendly interface. From online board elections and union votes to general assemblies and referendums, the platform is fully customizable and ready to scale for elections of any size or complexity.
The newly released E2E-VIV protocol, developed by the University of Warwick, is based on a variant of the DRE-ip protocol to provide E2E verifiability with support for low coercion mitigation (revoting capability). Eligo system still supports digital signature and timestamping to ensure immutability of all reports according to PADES standard.
Furthermore, Eligo adheres to strict international standards, including ISO/IEC 27001 for information security and ISO 9001 for quality management, reinforcing its commitment to data protection and process excellence.
A growing footprint in the Americas
Eligo's arrival in the U.S. follows a string of successful implementations across Latin America, including high-impact elections for professional associations, national trade unions, and universities in Mexico, Chile, and Colombia. Its presence in the Americas is rapidly expanding as organizations seek digital solutions that offer both flexibility and institutional-grade reliability.
The U.S. market represents a key milestone in Eligo's global expansion strategy. With growing demand for modern governance tools, especially in hybrid work environments and increasingly digital civic engagement, the company sees strong alignment between its technological values and the expectations of American institutions.
Experience real transparency
Eligo is inviting U.S.-based organizations, from corporations to municipalities, from associations to academic institutions, to experience the platform in action. Live demos are now available upon request, allowing stakeholders to test drive the system and explore its secure, verifiable features.

Britain and ChatGPT maker OpenAI sign new strategic partnership
Britain and ChatGPT maker OpenAI have signed a new strategic partnership to deepen collaboration on AI security research and explore investing in British AI infrastructure, such as data centres, the government said on Monday. 'AI will be fundamental in driving the change we need to see across the country – whether that's in fixing the NHS (National Health Service), breaking down barriers to opportunity or driving economic growth,' Peter Kyle, secretary of state for technology, said in a statement. 'This can't be achieved without companies like OpenAI, who are driving this revolution forward internationally. This partnership will see more of their work taking place in the UK.' The government has set out plans to invest £1-billion in computing infrastructure for AI development, hoping to increase public compute capacity 20 fold over the next five years. The United States, China and India are emerging as front runners in the race to develop AI, putting pressure on Europe to catch up. Gus Carlson: Can OpenAI really go the way of Apple and capture lightning in a bottle? The partnership with OpenAI, whose tie-up with Microsoft once drew the scrutiny of Britain's competition regulator, will see the company possibly increase the size of its London office, and explore where it can deploy AI in areas such as justice, defence, security and education technology. In the same statement, OpenAI head Sam Altman praised the government for being the first to recognize the technology's potential through its 'AI Opportunities Action Plan' – an initiative by Prime Minister Keir Starmer to turn the U.K. into an artificial intelligence superpower. The Labour government, which has struggled to increase economic growth meaningfully in its first year in power and has since fallen behind in polls, has said that the technology could increase productivity by 1.5 per cent a year, worth an extra £47-billion (about $86.77-billion) annually over a decade.

Jimmy Buffett's widow accuses financial adviser of breaching fiduciary duty in US$275M trust battle
In this Feb. 9, 2023, photo provided by the Florida Keys News Bureau, singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett performs during a concert in Key West, Fla. (Rob O'Neal/Florida Keys News Bureau via AP) FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Jimmy Buffett 's widow has accused her late husband's financial adviser of failing to administer the singer's multimillion-dollar trust in good faith and ignoring what she believed were her best interests for the US$275 million estate. Jane Buffett on Monday asked a judge in West Palm Beach, Florida, to stop Richard Mozenter from trying to remove her as a trustee and instead sought an order removing him from overseeing the estate, according to court papers. Jimmy Buffett, who popularized beach bum soft rock and created a 'Margaritaville' empire of restaurants and resorts, died Sept. 1, 2023, at 76. His widow and Mozenter have since been embroiled in a battle over who controls the trust, with each accusing the other of mishandling funds in lawsuits filed in both California and Florida. The dispute is similar to another going on with the estate of another beloved singer, Tony Bennett. Two of the late crooner's daughters sued their brother over his handling of the family trust. Jane Buffett's filing on Monday accuses Mozenter of 'repeatedly' breaching his fiduciary duty by failing to provide her with basic information about the trust's assets and its investments while taking 'unreasonable fees and costs in the context of the services provided.' On May 30, Jane Buffett's lawyers provided Mozenter's lawyers a copy of a petition they planned to file in Los Angeles Superior Court if he did not resign as cotrustee by June 2, the filing states. Mozenter's counsel instead filed a petition June 2 in West Palm Beach, seeking Buffett's removal as cotrustee, documents show. Jane Buffett's complaint was filed June 3 in Los Angeles, where Mozenter is managing director at Gelfand, Rennert and Feldman LLC. 'Notably, Mr. Mozenter only brought this (and his other) retaliatory, baseless action after Mrs. Buffett had informed him that, absent his resignation, she would initiate litigation against him to seek his removal as co-trustee,' the complaint said. Mozenter claimed in his lawsuit that Jimmy Buffett established the trust with Mozenter as an independent trustee because he was concerned about his wife's 'ability to manage and control his assets.' The complaint filed Monday in Florida says the relationship between Jane Buffett and Mozenter is 'untenable,' and asks the judge to remove Mozenter as cotrustee. 'Jane will not play into Mr. Mozenter's hands by litigating this dispute in two separate courts across the country, which would drain the very trust money that Jimmy specifically set aside for her care,' said attorney Matt Porpora. 'Instead, Jane is bringing the fight to Florida, where she and Jimmy called home. Jane is confident she will prevail regardless of where her claims are heard, and her decision to move her claims from California to Florida illustrates that she is the only co-trustee looking to conserve — not waste — trust assets,' Porpora said. Mozenter did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Freida Frisaro, The Associated Press

Verizon Reports Record Q2 EBITDA Growth
Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) reported Q2 2025 results on July 21, 2025, achieving record quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $12.8 billion (up 4.1% year-over-year), wireless service revenue of $20.9 billion (up 2.2% year-over-year), and free cash flow of $5.2 billion. Management raised full-year 2025 guidance for adjusted EBITDA growth to 2.5%-3.5%, adjusted EPS to 1%-3% growth, and free cash flow guidance to $19.5 billion-$20.5 billion, citing operational outperformance, accelerated infrastructure deployment, and unexpected tax reform benefits. Verizon Raised 2025 Financial Guidance on Surging Cash Flow Year-to-date free cash flow reached $8.8 billion, representing a 3.6% increase versus the prior year period, while operating cash flow climbed to $16.8 billion. The recently approved federal tax reform law is expected to contribute $1.5 billion to $2 billion in additional free cash flow in 2025, significantly improving capital allocation flexibility. "We are raising our 2025 free cash flow guidance to a range of $19.5 billion to $20.5 billion. The increase is driven by an estimated benefit of $1.5 billion to $2 billion from the recently enacted tax legislation, as well as the disciplined operational execution that drove our strong adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance in the first half of the year." — Tony Skiadas, Chief Financial Officer Stronger free cash flow and tax benefits in 2025 enable faster deleveraging and position the company for greater flexibility in strategic investments and potential buybacks after the Frontier Communications merger closes. Verizon Has an Accelerated Infrastructure Build and Hit a Fixed Wireless Milestone The company surpassed 5 million fixed wireless access (FWA) subscribers, delivering 278,000 FWA net adds in the quarter and maintaining momentum toward its target of 8 million to 9 million FWA subscribers by 2028. The C-band spectrum deployment is now tracking ahead of schedule, expected to reach 80%-90% of planned sites by year-end, while the fiber build is also exceeding plan, aiming for 650,000 new passings this year. "Our fixed wireless base has surpassed 5 million subscribers, and our fiber build is tracking ahead of its plan. This demonstrates disciplined execution across our entire portfolio." — Hans Vestberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rapid network expansion broadens the addressable market and drives incremental revenue streams. Verizon Managed Disciplined Customer Strategy Amid Churn and Promotional Pressures Despite persistent consumer postpaid phone churn at 0.9% and increased industry promotional intensity, Verizon reduced consumer postpaid phone net losses to 51,000 versus 109,000 in the prior year period and improved core prepaid net additions by 62,000 year over year. Four consecutive quarters of core prepaid net adds have pushed prepaid ARPU above $32, marking a turning point for prepaid revenue contribution. "We have now reached an inflection point where, after four quarters of volume growth, we expect prepaid to positively contribute to wireless service revenue growth for the remainder of 2025." — Tony Skiadas, Chief Financial Officer The transformation in prepaid economics reduces reliance on postpaid for service revenue growth and reflects effective brand segmentation and execution across diverse customer tiers. Looking Ahead Verizon raised its full-year 2025 guidance for adjusted (non-GAAP) EBITDA growth to 2.5%-3.5%, adjusted EPS growth guidance to 1%-3%, and free cash flow guidance to $19.5-$20.5 billion for 2025, factoring in benefits from tax reform and superior first-half execution. The C-band build-out is on track to cover 80%-90% of planned sites by year-end, and fiber expansion targets 650,000 new passings for the full year. Management confirmed the Frontier acquisition remains on schedule for an early 2026 close. As Verizon nears the closing of the Frontier acquisition, the company will provide an update on its broadband expansion and capital allocation strategy; no additional quantitative guidance for 2026 or post-acquisition integration has been provided at this time.
