[Governance Poll] Incentivize voting in governance polls

#Current situation

This sub has around 2.3 million members, but only a small portion of the community votes in our governance polls.

#Problem

The issue with this consists on not having enough votes in a poll, meaning it won't reach quorum. Therefore, the polls might not pass, no matter how good the recommendations are.

#Solution

To fix this, I recommend implementing the following measure:

• A voter earns a bonus of 5% karma for that distribution, along with an extra 1% bonus per additional poll in which a vote is cast. In conclusion, if someone votes in 2 polls, they will get a 6% bonus. If they vote in 3 polls, they will get a 7% bonus.

This bonus will come from the total amount of the distribution. If there are no polls during that period, nothing changes when it comes to the rewards a user would get. This measure will be implemented after the upcoming distribution, in case the poll passes.

Benefits:

• This will amplify the governance use-case of DONUTs, increasing their utility.

• Encouraging new users to vote.

Concerns:

• Users may vote blindly/randomly just to secure the extra bonus.

The choices are:

[YES] Implement the bonus karma for voters

[NO] Don't implement the bonus karma for voters
