Candidate: New York City Mayor

Ben Zakar (I)

Candidate Site

Ben Zakar is not just another mayoral candidate—he is a revolutionary challenger to representative democracy itself. His vision eliminates traditional politicians, replacing them with policy-driven governance, where New Yorkers vote directly on policies through a secure, encrypted weekly voting system designed to ensure accessibility and fairness.

Rejecting the conventional mayoral role, he introduces FEPS (Full-time Executors / Part-time Scholars), a governance model where policies are crowdsourced, evaluated by scholars, voted on by the public, and executed by union-elected commissioners.

Beyond New York, he advocates for Quantum Nations, a futuristic alternative to the UN, aiming to redefine global governance.
