the Preparation window, and the starting and control-
ling of voting is carried out from the Control window.
The files created using this module are called script files
as they act as the script for voting procedures. The file
menu allows script files to be opened, created, deleted,
saved, saved under a different name, imported and
printed out.
A script file consists of a number of votings (between 1
and 9999), each of which is a proposal (or motion) that
will be voted on. New votings can be created and exist-
ing ones edited within script files. Votings to be edited
are selected from a list in the currently open script file
and displayed on-screen. All parameters related to this
voting can be altered, although certain parameters have
to satisfy system-specified criteria. Once a voting has
been edited it is inserted back into the list. Every voting
must have a unique number, which is used by the DCN
system as a reference. The name and description of each
voting defines it for both users and delegates.
It is also possible to enable a quorum function. This
specifies how many authorized delegates must be pre-

Multi Voting
• Allows selection between six different
kinds of voting
• Extensive voting preparation facilities
• Wide range of vote-related parameter
options
• Choice of three voting results display types
• On-screen help facility
This software module provides the user with the means
to select and control six different kinds of conference
voting, including Parliamentary Voting. The voting
types which can be implemented or selected are:
• Parliamentary
• Opinion Poll
• Audience Response
• Rating
• Multiple Choice
• For/Against
In each case, the program allows the user to prepare for
voting, specify vote-related parameters, display and
print voting results and start and control voting. There
are two main windows: the Preparation window and

sent before a voting can legitimately take place. A
majority function determines what percentage of votes
constitutes a majority voting.
Once a voting is ready to be voted on, it is recalled in
the Control window and the voting process is started.
When the program enters the active voting state, dele-
gates can use their delegate units to register votes. The
user has full control over the voting procedure, and can
stop or suspend a vote at any time. Motions that have
already been voted on cannot be edited, but voting
again on the same motion is possible. It is also possible
to vote without opening a script file.
The program offers the possibility of displaying incom-
ing votes or the final result of a vote on hall displays
connected to the DCN system, on delegate units with a
display facility, and on-screen. It is possible to print out
a hard copy of a voting with its results. There is also a
facility which automatically prints out the results of a
vote once voting is completed.
Note: Delegate Database LBB 3580 is required if delegate
names are used.
