Vote
A vote is a share-weighted yes/no decision opened by a syndicate admin and decided by the equity members. Members with no shares never see a vote at all; visibility, not just the ability to cast a ballot, is limited to members who hold a share. Each equity member’s ballot counts in proportion to the shares they hold at the moment the vote closes, not at the moment they voted; if a member loses shares (or goes former) between cast and close, their ballot drops out of the tally.
A vote has three lifecycle states:
open: ballots can be cast and re-cast.closed: the result has been computed and stored. No further ballots.cancelled: withdrawn by an admin before close, using the Cancel vote action. No result is recorded, and a cancelled vote cannot be reopened.
A vote is public by default: fellow shareholders can see how everyone voted. An admin can instead open it as a private vote, where only the voter sees their own ballot; everyone still sees the final outcome (passed or did not pass), but never who voted which way. Whether a vote is private is fixed when it’s opened and can’t be changed afterwards.
Votes close either automatically at the date and time the admin chose, in the admin’s own timezone, or manually when an admin taps Close vote on the detail screen. Automatic closes are tallied promptly, within a few minutes of the chosen moment, so a vote can be opened for just a few hours as a quick-vote. Both paths use the same result calculation, so the answer is identical regardless of how the close happened.
The threshold is a share-weighted majority: the vote passes if more than 50% of the total active equity shares are cast for Yes. Non-votes are an implicit No: silence is not agreement, and the denominator is the total share count, not the count of cast ballots.
Votes are always yes/no in this release; supermajority and unanimous thresholds are reserved for future use.
