Initial hypothesis: the voting method should match the complexity of the decision, and the degree of participation should match the stakes. Simple majority for binary questions, Condorcet-style ranked voting (Schulze method) for complex multi-option choices, consensus for editorial work, and single transferable vote for multi-seat elections. The portal covers the methods under study, the proposed rules (eligibility, secret ballot, quorum, election committee, challenges), a research page grounded in the documented practice of the Wikimedia, Debian and Mozilla communities plus peer-reviewed literature, and a page discussing whether WikiDeal is a DAO. Everything is a first hypothesis, to be validated by the steering committee and then by the community.}} | ||

The initial hypothesis of this | The initial hypothesis of this portal is simple: '''the voting method should depend on the complexity of the decision, and the degree of participation should depend on the stakes.''' Routine choices can stay light; decisions that affect everyone deserve wider and more careful votes. No single [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_system electoral system] fits every situation, and social choice theory shows that every method has known limits (see the [[Gov/en/Portal:Voting/Research|research page]]). | ||
