Proposals & Voting

Likwid supports multiple voting methods to match different decision-making needs.

Proposal Lifecycle

1. Draft

The author creates a proposal with:

  • Title and description
  • Voting options
  • Selected voting method

2. Discussion Phase

  • Members read and discuss the proposal
  • Comments are organized for constructive deliberation
  • The author may refine the proposal based on feedback

3. Voting Phase

  • Voting opens for a defined period
  • Members cast votes using the specified method
  • Delegated votes are resolved

4. Closed

  • Results are calculated and displayed
  • The decision is recorded permanently

Voting Methods

Approval Voting

Best for: Simple yes/no decisions or selecting multiple options

  • Select all options you approve of
  • Options are ranked by total approvals
  • Simple and intuitive

Ranked Choice (Instant Runoff)

Best for: Electing a single winner from many candidates

  • Rank options from most to least preferred
  • Lowest-ranked options are eliminated in rounds
  • Votes transfer to next preference

Schulze Method

Best for: Complex decisions requiring nuanced preferences

  • Rank all options
  • Uses pairwise comparisons
  • Condorcet-consistent (beats all others head-to-head)

STAR Voting (Score Then Automatic Runoff)

Best for: Balancing expressiveness with simplicity

  • Rate each option 0-5 stars
  • Top two scorers enter automatic runoff
  • Prevents strategic voting

Quadratic Voting

Best for: Expressing intensity of preference

  • Allocate voice credits across options
  • Cost increases quadratically (1 vote = 1 credit, 2 votes = 4 credits)
  • Prevents tyranny of the majority

Casting Your Vote

  1. Open the proposal during the voting phase
  2. Follow the voting method instructions
  3. Submit your vote
  4. You can change your vote until voting closes

Delegation and Voting

If you've delegated your vote on a topic:

  • Your delegate votes on your behalf
  • You can override by voting directly
  • Delegations are transparent

Viewing Results

After voting closes:

  • See total vote counts
  • View method-specific details (rounds, pairwise matrices)
  • Results are permanent and auditable
