Your decision rules, applied to every ballot
One vote each
Each authorised account has one vote, which it can comment on and change while voting is open.
A decision that holds
The thresholds are fixed when the ballot opens. On closing, the shelter’s rule decides, unless the manager gives a reasoned decision, and everything is recorded.
