Dot Vote
A quick and effective way to vote on anything (proposals, process changes, priorities, etc.
List all of the things to be voted on and put them on a wall, white-board, etc. Determine a
number of votes that each participant gets and then give them the opportunity to put dots
next to the items that they are voting for. All participants vote at the same time. The
moderator or person leading the discussion determines if participants can put more than
one vote for any particular item to show they have a strong preference. Once the voting is
complete, the results are tallied and reviewed by the group to determine the next steps.
