See also	number of support votes (P8683) & number of negative votes (P8682) — Could be used to store aye/nay votes, but would need to have their scope expanded, as they appear to mostly be used with referendums and are constrained to only be main values, not qualifiers. Otherwise new "number of aye votes" and "number of nay votes" properties should be created.

Motivation

To store information on votes for legislative acts. legislated by (P467) is used to store the legislature which passed an act, which does not allow for the storing of voting data in multicameral legislatures. — csc^-1 21:56, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

•  Support, an important property for the policy.--Arbnos (talk) 23:25, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
•  Question Is this worth combining with signatories in support or opposition to a proposal? "Voting" is formal but I was thinking of petitions which also have a group of people signing them. Is that similar, or is that too different? I suppose there are enough voting records to justify having a special property only for votes. And would this apply to national elections?

  @Bluerasberry: It's currently intended to represent scenarios where a bill is voted on by different houses/chambers of a legislature, though it might be useful to expand it to encompass situations where something requires voting outside of a legislative chamber (say a constitutional amendment which requires a referendum alongside a legislative vote). It wouldn't apply to national elections as it would apply to legislation being accepted/rejected by a vote, and national elections don't fit that pattern. — csc^-1 12:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
