As you can see in past threads, players typically reply to the Promotor's distributions of proposals with FOR, AGAINST, or PRESENT (no vote but prevents a proposal from failing due to a lack of quorum of voters) for each proposal. Then the Assessor collects votes in a "voting results" message and resolves the decisions, causing voted-for proposals to be adopted. Some details: - The voting period is typically a week; votes between the end of the voting period and resolution don't count. - You have to be a player at the time of distribution to vote. - You can retract/change votes. - You usually have multiple votes on a given proposal; you can split them between options, but just saying "FOR" is enough to cast all your votes FOR, etc. (R2280). - The ratio of FOR to AGAINST has to be >= the adoption index for the proposal to be adopted; higher AI lets the proposal affect higher-powered rules. - Voting has been democratic for virtually all proposals for a long time, but afaik the recent reintroduction of VVLOP should change that (which makes the game more interesting); you can still submit Democratic proposals if you want a fair vote.
