Hi,

I kind of compare our voting members with a parliament. Because voting 
members are representatives of other people, 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: 
https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/abstimmungen/wer-hat-wie-abgestimmt-im-nationalrat 
(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.

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

Does this make sense to you?

Even if we decided to go anonymous, this would be technically difficult 
as Tim said.
