Variable Consensus Level
VoteWrap uses a Variable Consensus Level calculated from how Urgent & Important the question being voted on is to each voter. As something becomes more important it's better to have more people agreeing with it. Otherwise, potentially 49% of the voters will fight against the result creating implementation difficulties or even the reversal of the outcome. And, when something is less urgent the more time there is to build a higher consensus.

OPTIONAL - Personal Settings
These 'Personal Settings' are used to calculate the variable consensus level & whether the vote is compulsory or voluntary. Unless & until you want to change these default settings then just scroll to the bottom of this form and click the 'Submit' button to submit your voting data.
Personal Settings - Consensus %
The Variable Consensus Level is drawn from the Importance & Urgency Matrix. The default % values are shown below. These values are calculated by totalling all the individual voter's % values and dividing that total by the number of voters. This means that there is no central control of the Consensus Levels. Note that each voter only has to set the 4 corners of the matrix and the other five values are automatically calculated by adding & dividing the the 4 corner values.
1. Importance High / Urgency Low *
2. Importance High / Urgency High *
3. Importance Low / Urgency Low *
4. Importance Low / Urgency High *
Personal Settings - Compulsory Vote
Not every question needs every voter to vote on it. Only those questions that are deemed important enough by the voters and have the time available to get everyone to vote need to be Compulsory. Whether a vote should be Compulsory or Voluntary is determined by the Importance / Urgency Matrix. And again it is the voters who collectively decide how the matrix determines if it's a Voluntary or Compulsory vote by individually changing the default personal preferences shown below. Each position on the matrix is then calculated one way or the other when more than 50% of voters decide if they want that matrix position to be Voluntary or Compulsory.
1. Importance High / Urgency - Low *
2. Importance High / Urgency - Medium *
3. Importance High / Urgency - High *
4. Importance Medium / Urgency - Low *
5. Importance Medium / Urgency - Medium *
6. Importance Medium / Urgency - High
Clear selection
7. Importance Low / Urgency - Low *
8. Importance Low / Urgency - Medium *
9. Importance Low / Urgency - High *
