POLL-001 / GOVERNANCE RECORD

How should winners be determined in future daoCAT governance polls with more than two choices?

This vote establishes how daoCAT will determine the winner of future governance polls containing three or more choices. Majority + Runoff: A choice must receive more than 50% of the deciding votes to win. If no choice reaches that threshold, the two choices receiving the most votes advance to a final runoff vote. Plurality: The choice receiving the most votes wins, even if it receives 50% or less of the deciding votes. Quorum is separate from determining the winner. Quorum determines whether enough eligible Legends participated for the poll to be valid. Abstentions count toward quorum but do not count toward either choice. The result of this poll will establish the standard used for future multi-choice daoCAT governance polls. Final turnout: 17 of 17 eligible Legends. Quorum required 9. This record documents the community result; any outside implementation requires separate authorization.
