Dotmocracy or Dot-voting

Creativity Technique Description

“Dot-voting,” also known as dotmocracy or “voting with dots,” is a well-established form of facilitation that describes voting using dot stickers or marks made with a marker pen, as opposed to paper ballots. Dot voting is a method of voting in which participants choose their preferred alternatives by utilizing a limited number of stickers or markings made with pens — dot stickers being the most frequent kind of sticker. This technique of sticker voting is a variation on the cumulative voting concept. The objective of this technique is for each team member to have equal voting power when picking the finest ideas, so that the most popular ideas in the team are selected democratically.
