The ability to change your vote in the poll might be handy for some people.

Ignore me anyway, as I've just spotted the "undo vote" button <_<


RE: At VOTE: Regional Communications Act - Belschaft - 10-02-2016

With 74 Aye votes, 8 Nay votes and 9 abstentions, 90% of regional World Assembly members have voted in support of this legislation. With 27 votes currently cast in the Assembly I work the block vote out as likely being five votes; as such I assign all five votes to Aye.

74 Aye, 8 Aye? Autocorrect must be overworking.

Typo corrected - also, it looks like the block vote will be six votes, in which case five aye one nay best represents 90% aye.
