Hi,

I’d like to be able to delegate my vote to someone, on a given category. For instance, if there is a poll in the **feature** category and I delegated my vote to user **trustedfriend** for all polls in the **feature** category, (s)he will have two votes instead of one.

The vote delegations could show in a fashion similar to `users/myself/invited/redeemed` and the poll plugin could use that when the `delegated=true` option is given.

Has this been discussed in the past ? The closest thing I could find is [“endorsements”/trust between users; social network](https://meta.discourse.org/t/endorsements-trust-between-users-social-network/26270) but it’s only marginaly related.

Cheers

This is very advanced poll functionality. I don’t even know of a single-purpose polls app that supports this.

Making a plugin is your best bet here.

Ok 🙂 Another approach would be to run [adhocracy](https://github.com/liqd/adhocracy/) or [liquidfeedback](http://dev.liquidfeedback.org/) and make it work with discourse. Not sure what would work in the long run.
