Indirect Votes are cast in The Consumerium Exchange
This vote cannot be used directly, but can be assigned to an registered not-for-profit organisation, including potentially a political party, that uses the voting power as decided by the governance of the organisation, thus rendering the identity of the vote holder anonymous. The right to assign such votes creates what is called a proxy market, as many organisations can compete to be trusted with it - see social capital.
For verification purposes it might be a reasonable requirement that you must be a member of, or a donor to, the organisation that you give your voting power to. You may give your vote to only one organisation at a time. You may transfer it to an another organisation or just revoke it.
