Voting Flow

Here we describe the end-to-end voting flow using the council toolkit for vote transaction signing.

Proposed Steps

1. Deliberation and decision

   • Council meets and works asynchronously

   • Council deliberate on action

   • Metadata drafting

   • Vote consensus reached by the council

   • Metadata finalization

2. Building vote transaction

   • Orchestrator coordinates with council to turn metadata into correct format.

   • Orchestrator construct an unsigned transaction incorporating the specific governance action and the council's chosen consensus on the governance action; Constitutional, Unconstitutional, or Abstain.

   • Orchestrator sends the unsigned vote transaction to each voter key-holder.

3. Signing the transaction via council toolkit

   • Each voter key signer uploads the transaction

   • Each voter inspects the transaction, ensuring it is correct

   • Each voter produces a signature for the vote transaction

4. Collecting the Signatures/Witnesses and submission

   • Orchestrator collects all signatures and assemble the finalised signed transaction.

   • Orchestrator does final checks and then submits the vote to chain.
