Weighted Voting

Summary

A voting system where votes are assigned different weights based on a predetermined criterion.

Detailed Description

Weighted voting allows participants to have a varying degree of influence on the decision-making process. Unlike standard voting systems where each vote has equal value, weight is assigned based on factors such as ownership stake, contribution level, or other relevant metrics. This mechanism is often used in decentralized governance models, blockchain platforms, and corporate voting to reflect the varying levels of contribution or stake in an entity.
