Voting Mechanics

That's a *feature* we are working on. But you can see the questions on the 'Tally' page.

2. What happens to my vote?
We compile the votes and show them on our 'Tally' page. Then we will send a Daily Hornet Bulletin to the officials. We publish those on our 'Bulletin' page. We'll also release the results to the press. And when have responses from officials we'll publish those on our 'Outcomes' page along with relevant legislation or governmental action.

3. When will voting on a question stop?
We will give at least one week's notice before we close the polls on a question.
