@joanbp thank you for the thoughtful and detailed feedback. My replies below.
1 . . . would be good to make this number very visible on the voting page
Great suggestion. We can do this for future votes and add the number of the SUP tokens which equate to the 0.2% of Votable Tokens.
For reference, the link to Votable Tokens table is accessible on the Forum from this thread: Delegates and Voting Power [Official] .
Below is a screenshot of that page taken at the time the Snapshot vote was posted.
Adding this figure to the voting page as you suggest would improve transparency.
1 . . . and also make sure that voters can see directly how each candidate is placing at any moment (ie. percentage of all votable tokens, not just percentage of cast votes).
Will check if Snapshot platform which we use for voting can calculate and display percentage of all votable tokens for each candidate at any moment during the vote. If it can do that we will make it visible for future votes.
2 . . . decision to ask voters to pick only one candidate
Appreciate your feedback on this. As you point out, there are downsides to picking only one candidate and picking more than one candidate would be more inclusive.
As it stands, the process for Security Council Elections is detailed in the Constitution. Link to the relevant section of the Constitution is in the first line of this thread.
There was no separate decision (to ask voters to pick only one candidate) beyond following the Constitution. However the DAO can change the process through a Constitutional SIP.
I think your suggestion could improve the process. As this is the first Security Council election, would be good to have more feedback and see if there is broad support to change and improve that process through a Constitutional SIP in the future.
3 . . . state the procedure directly on the voting page as well
Agree that adding more details to the Snapshot voting page can be more helpful.
The Snapshot voting page references the detail proposal text on the Forum, with a link under “Discussion”. In the future, we can add to the voting page more of the text of the Forum post and relevant links.
4 . . . allow tokens that are being used for LP from within a Superfluid reserve to count for voting
This should already be the case. All tokens in Reserves (including LP bucket) should be Votable Tokens in line with the definition of Votable Tokens in the Constitution here. Please let me know if you were unable to vote with any of your tokens - including in the Reserve LP category - so we can look into it.
Thanks again for the helpful feedback to improve the process.
