-----   
-!!Voting Procedures   
-   
-All [Virians|Virian] are expected to vote on all issues put to the vote.   
-   
-Some types of votes may require a minimum reputation in order to participate.   
-   
-Some types of votes may be informational (i.e. not require participation) and do not count towards "voting weight".   
-   
-Some types of votes may be "compulsory" and failing to vote in "compulsory votes" will result in possible penalties.   
-   
-All votes have an abstain button. A vote for abstention is classed as a vote for the purposes of this rule.   
-   
-Votes to [accept|WikiAccepted] or [reject|WikiRejected] a wiki page becoming an official document must be carried out under the conditions established in terms of the [WikiVote] rules.   
-   
-__New Suggestion__: Alternate 1: Virians who do not vote in at least 60% of elections will be removed from the reputation system. The determination will be made from closed votes since the member became eligable to vote (i.e. from the date of first joining the rating system).   
-   
-__New Suggestion__: Alternate 2: Virians shall receive an equity according to the current system, but their equity shall be adjusted by a "voting weight" based on whether they have voted in the last 4 elections closed (i.e. 25% of equity per vote cast, awarded as they vote, so their first vote earns them 25% of their available equity, etc). Where the member omits voting before a vote closes, their equity will be reduced by 25% for each vote missed
