A voting mechanism is a structured system or protocol used to enable participants in a group to express their preferences or make collective decisions. In decentralized networks, these mechanisms allow token holders or validators to cast votes on proposals, upgrades, or policy changes affecting the blockchain or associated applications. The design of such a mechanism is critical for fair and effective governance.
Context

Reports frequently analyze the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches, such as coin voting, quadratic voting, or delegated voting, in terms of participation, resistance to manipulation, and representation. The choice of voting mechanism significantly influences the decentralization and long-term direction of a digital asset project.
