## Note to Readers

1. We are still open to have co-author to collaborate, in particular, we are looking for co-authors of the
following category:
- standard designers who are experienced in application-layer standard design, or
- developers who have experience with blockchain-based voting system in practice
- researchers with research interest in crypto/zero-knowledge-proof voting


2. We have two discussion destinations:
- [Github Ethereum EIP Issue #1202](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/1202) for long and more mature thoughts
- [Telegram Channel t.me/erc1202](https://t.me/erc1202) for real-time and related random chat.

3. We are actively working on updating this draft as many feedbacks have come in since it merged into official EIP repo.
If you are viewing a snapshot of this draft, please be advised the latest dev version of ERC 1202 can be found [here](https://github.com/xinbenlv/eip-1202-draft/blob/master/EIP-1202.md)

## Simple Summary
Propose a standard interface for voting.

* It's assumes for each individual address, they can only vote for one decision. They can distribute their available voting power into more granular level. If implementor wants allow this, they ask the user to create another wallet address and grant the new address certain power. For example, a token based voting where voting weight is determined by the amount of token held by a voter, a voter who wants to distribute its voting power in two different option(option set) can transfer some of the tokens to the new account and cast the votes from both accounts.

- **Weight**: We assume there are `weight` of votes and can be checked by calling `weightOf(address addr)`, and the weight distribution is either internally determined or determined by constructor. However we have not been considering updating the weight distribution. Please comment on this design decision as we want to learn how likely an implementor would want to be able to update the voting weight distributions.

### Security and Privacy of Voting
// TODO

## Backward Compatibility
There is no backward compatibility issue we are aware of.


## Interactions with other ERCs
// TODO add interaction discussion for the following ERCs
ERC20, ERC721, ERC735, ERC780, ERC165


## Simple Code Examples
### Example 1: Simplest Version: Single Issue Yes/No Question Per Smart Contract Address Per Non-Weighted Vote
