Help shape the Eco-Election ballot
Three core questions, with an optional section for people who want to go further.
Voting is not open. This page does not collect or submit answers. Billions Count is independent, unofficial and nonbinding. The intended first public voting period is January through Earth Day, April 22, 2027; final opening arrangements remain under development.
Proposed core questions
1. Environmental leadership
Which person would you most like to see as an environmental leader in the presidential role discussed by this project?
Candidate list, jurisdiction, and single-choice versus ranking rules still need approval. The intended approach includes a write-in and a Not sure option. The silhouettes are illustrations, not announced candidates.
2. Environmental priorities
Which THREE environmental issues should receive the highest priority?
Climate and extreme weather resilience; clean water; clean air; habitat and biodiversity; affordable clean energy; waste reduction and reuse; sustainable food; low-emission transportation; investment in ecopreneurial inventions and solutions; another issue; not sure.
3. Participation prediction
Which participation milestone do you think Billions Count could reach by Earth Day, April 22, 2028?
25 million; 100 million; 1 billion or more; another estimate; not sure. This is a prediction, not a turnout claim. The project’s first planned launch remains in 2027.

These are possible additions, not final ballot questions. Organization and solution lists need agreed choices and clear descriptions before voting opens.
Participation rules, privacy information, duplicate-response handling, moderation and reporting will be settled before public voting. An opinion survey is not a government election or proof of one-person-one-vote.
