- Vote Documentation on Hashgraph: Each vote can be recorded as a transaction on Hedera, providing an immutable record of participation without revealing user identities. This documentation would create a transparent audit trail that can be referenced for vote verification.
- Preference-Based Voting System:
- Ranking System: Voters could rank options in order of preference, for example, assigning "1" to their top choice, "2" to their next choice, and so on.
- Calculation of Preferences: Use a voting algorithm, such as Ranked Choice Voting or Borda Count, to process preferences and calculate weighted results, giving higher-ranked choices more influence.
- Integration with Hedera: Each preference could be encoded in a transaction, documenting individual choices without compromising voter privacy. Hedera’s timestamped and immutable records would enhance the reliability of the voting results.
This setup would give Canuckduck a highly transparent and secure voting process, allowing for nuanced user input while leveraging Hedera’s distributed ledger for a secure, tamper-proof record.
