As Australians begin pre-polling for the July 2 federal election, one party competing in five states is advocating the effective crowd-sourcing of democracy.

The Flux Party has no policy positions, rather if any of its Senate candidates are elected, it would be guided on how to vote by polls run on a free smartphone app.

"Flux is really a movement about giving democratic power back to the Australian people where it really belongs," party co-founder Nathan Spataro told 720 ABC Perth.

"Every single voter will have an app on their phone that will be completely free to download.

"They will receive a notification that a piece of legislation is coming before the Senate. They can vote as they deem necessary.

"The senator in Parliament will vote based on those votes regardless of what he or she believes to be the right course of action."

Frustration with two-party system

Mr Spataro said he and co-founder Max Kaye were inspired to create the party because they believed a majority of Australians were "frustrated and cynical" about the current political system.

"We are not running because we think we have the best ideas, like every other party in this election," he said.

"We are running because we believe that the Australian people are the best to make these decisions and this enfranchises people to make those decisions."

"The party is growing very fast. We have been around for six months and we already have 3,000 members."

Both Mr Spataro and Mr Kaye have experience in the Bitcoin currency industry and plan to use its operating system, Blockchain, as a basis for the Flux direct democracy system.

"Blockchain is a very powerful way for securing information and recording history," he said.

"It's one of the things that makes Flux not just an excellent way to empower people democratically but also to make that process very secure."

Trade votes on issues of no interest

If the project becomes reality, the Flux voting system would not only allow smartphone users to have a say, but also to trade their votes away on issues they do not care about.

In addition to this, voters would receive credits for extra votes on issues they feel passionate about.

The party hopes the style of voting could empower people with specialist understanding of particular policy areas to lend their knowledge to government.

"We see people who are policy generalists moving from one portfolio to another making decisions," Mr Spataro said.

"What we need is to empower Aussies who are already working in those fields."

Although running in the federal election, the party sees itself as a system to replace the current model of parliamentary democracy rather than a participant in it.

"Right now we have a system that is more than 200 years old," Mr Spataro said.

"What we are really trying to do is enfranchise ordinary Aussies to vote after the election.

"Ultimately what we want to see is this system getting up.

"We see Flux as being an alternative democracy as a whole, not just a neat little plug-in to the Senate."
