<p> it is important that these votes are public and not anonymous.
All votes of parliament members are public (at least in many
countries). In Switzerland there is a website that publishes all
votes of all parliament members: <a href="https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/abstimmungen/wer-hat-wie-abgestimmt-im-nationalrat" target="_blank">https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/abstimmungen/wer-hat-wie-abgestimmt-im-nationalrat</a>
(available in german, french, italian - no english). There you
can filter by party, topic, people, etc. - it is important that
these votes are public, so one can decide which persons to
re-elect or check if the voting member voted as promised to the
people they represent.<br>

<p>I think anonymous voting would be important if all our end
users would have a vote.</p>

as above, half of the people are end users.<br>

to me both options are ok, we just need to decide. it is just a bit

the votes. <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree here.

<p>not really, it depends on the solution we use. With loomio we can
