Should DAO proposals have a pre-defined 'Abstain' voting option?

By 0xBB7B...cB9d69

by 0x511a22cdd2c4ee8357bb02df2578037ffe8a4d8d (ginoct)

Purpose

To give DAO members the option to abstain from voting on proposals, allowing them to express a neutral position rather than being forced to vote for or against a proposal. Also useful in cases where members have already voted and want to withdraw their vote without having to take a stance.

Proposed Solution

Adding an abstain predefined option to the DAOโ€™s voting system (Similar to how the Invalid Question/Options currently work for Polls), would allow members to indicate that they do not wish to vote either for or against a proposal. This option would be available alongside the existing options of โ€œYesโ€ and โ€œNoโ€. This option will be added only for proposals with Yes/No options (Not applicable to Pre-proposal Polls)

Benefits

  • Allows members to express a neutral position on a proposal, rather than feeling forced to take a stance.
  • Provides a more accurate representation of member opinions, as it allows those who are unsure or neutral to make their views known.
  • Increases the legitimacy of the voting process and its engagement levels, as it allows all members to fully participate without feeling pressure to take a position they may not fully agree with.

Implementation

  • The abstain option will be added to the DAOโ€™s Snapshot space and the Governance dApp and will be available to all members in Yes/No proposals (POIs, Catalyst Node, Name Ban, Grant Request, Linked Wearables Registry, Draft Proposal, and Governance Proposal).
  • The abstain option will be counted separately from the โ€œforโ€ and โ€œagainstโ€ votes, and will not affect the outcome of the vote.
  • A summary of the abstain votes will be included in the results of the vote, along with the total number of โ€œfor,โ€ โ€œagainst,โ€ and abstain votes.
  • Yes
  • No
  • Invalid question/options
