Double Voting #97

Open KendyLand opened 3 years ago

KendyLand commented 3 years ago

When I ran a test vote in Discord, one of the members voted twice; thumbs up and thumbs down. Both of his votes were recognized. Seems like it would be wise to only let one of the votes count. Or, in order to maintain 100% quorum for those who do not have an affirmative or negative vote, maybe allow for an "abstain" button (i.e. 🤷‍♀️).

Hey @KendyLand thanks for the suggestion!

How's someone's double vote different from not voting at all?

As far as "in favor" or "opposed" vote counts go, it's the same thing. I've been a member in orgs that use Robert's Rules, and it was helpful to have an "abstain" option. This way you can encourage quorum by giving members a clear option if they don't wish to vote in a positive or negative way, rather than having them vote positive and negative, to accomplish their intention. It's mostly a UX/UI suggestion, to offer an "abstain" emoji/button, to encourage as many members as possible to participate, in order to obtain quorum. Overall, not a huge issue, but will make the process more user-friendly.
