🗳️ Voting Modules
Diverse voting formats for collective decision-making. Rather than treating votes as one-shot decisions, Parti’s voting modules visualize how opinions shift through dialogue and information, allowing citizens to change their minds and the collective to see itself thinking together.

1. Yes-No Voting
✅ Implemented
The most basic voting format, choosing between yes or no.
2. Multiple Choice Voting
✅ Implemented
Single or multiple selections in a survey-style format.
3. Score Voting
✅ Implemented
Participants assign points to multiple options to express preferences and derive priorities.
4. Galaxy Vote
✅ Implemented
⭐ Parti Original
Parti’s independently developed voting format that visualizes citizen opinion distribution as a star cluster. Beyond yes-no responses, it reveals the topography of public opinion and serves as the starting point for deliberative matching in Star Talk and Korea Talks. More recently, AI analysis combining machine learning and LLMs has been integrated into its operation, inferring participants’ opinion groups from their responses. (Also covered in Category 11, AI.)
5. Battle Voting
✅ Implemented
⭐ Parti Original
A deliberative format where participants choose between two opposing arguments in real time. Shifts in opinion become visible as the vote unfolds.
6. Live Vote Changing
✅ Implemented
⭐ Parti Original
Most voting systems treat votes as one-shot decisions. Parti’s deliberative voting works differently. Citizens can change their choices anytime as dialogue and new information come in, and the room watches how the collective opinion moves together. A core feature of Parti’s approach to deliberative democracy.
7. Confirmation Voting
✅ Implemented
A format for final decisions where votes are only finalized when participants click the confirm button. Used for meetings, general assemblies, and officer elections where results must be sealed.
8. Anonymous (Blind) Voting
✅ Implemented
Fully anonymous voting where neither staff nor the organizer can see individual results.
9. Electronic Signatures
✅ Implemented
Collects signatures with legal validity for decisions and petitions. Includes guideline messaging and signature file downloads.
10. Large-Scale E-Voting
✅ Implemented
Supports stable online voting at scales of 10,000+ participants. Used in participatory budgeting, citizen general assemblies, and large-scale citizen assemblies.
11. Quadratic Voting
⬜ Future Direction
Weighted voting where the cost of additional votes for one option grows quadratically. Creates balance between weak majority preferences and strong minority preferences.
12. Delegated Voting (Liquid Democracy)
⬜ Future Direction
A liquid-democracy voting format where citizens can either cast their own vote or delegate it to another citizen more versed in a given topic. Delegations can differ by topic and be withdrawn anytime, keeping the line between direct and representative democracy flexible. Rooted in the same idea as Live Vote Changing (item 6) — decision-making that stays alive rather than ending in a single choice.
