LIP-14 FINAL: Voting Improvements; Shielded Voting

Title: LIP-14 FINAL: Voting Improvements; Shielded Voting Author: Lizident, Lu Date Created: 16th Jan, 2023

This vote is to approve “shielded voting."

ABSTRACT This document proposes a change to shield (hide) voting results during the active voting period.

Relevant Information: Snapshot defines shielded voting as "a voting system in which the voters choices are private during the voting period and get revealed when the proposal closes. This prevents the voting process itself from influencing the vote results."

MAIN CHANGES Shielded voting would become the new default for Ethlizards DAO prelim and final votes.

RATIONALE With unshielded voting, ongoing results during the election may influence the voting outcome.

The goal with shielded voting is to measure the true sentiment and results of DAO member voting.
