Run a community vote on your next shared project

Choosing what to improve in a shared space? Use Rezon to collect ranked preferences, invite missing ideas and give your community a clear process for deciding what comes first.

Try the community vote

One shared space, different priorities

Imagine a neighborhood with funds for one optional improvement this year: covered seating, garden beds, table tennis, a tool library or a bicycle repair station. Each project is feasible within the available budget, including upkeep. Residents may still prefer very different uses of that space.

Keep more than the first choice. Ask members to rank the projects. Someone who prefers garden beds may still welcome covered seating; a pick-one vote would lose that preference.
Let members improve the options. Enable suggestions to add or remove projects. Signed-in voting participants can submit proposals for your review. Accepted changes enter a new round, not a silent edit beneath existing ballots.
Include the languages people use. Translate the same options within one poll. Members can read them in their preferred language while contributing to one shared result.

In this fictional example, essential safety and accessibility work is funded separately. Sharing a budget limit does not mean the optional projects have identical costs.

Give the community a clear voting process

Agree what the vote will decide.
Check space, costs, permissions and ongoing care before accepting a project. Agree who can vote, any vote weights, the counting method, deadline and how the result will be used. In this example, the highest-ranked eligible project is implemented first.
Invite informed participation.
Give every project comparable descriptions and set access for the actual community. Enable separate comments on the voting, observation and results pages so questions stay with the stage they concern. Each participant reviews the options and submits their own ranking.
Use the result under the agreed rules.
At the agreed close, use the calculated ranking to set the first project in motion. An optional question about use of shared spaces can reveal differences between frequent and occasional users. Segment views provide context; they do not replace the overall result or change vote weights.

Try the community projects vote

What would you put first? Compare the five projects and their upkeep requirements, then submit your ranking and explore Observe and Results.

This is an ongoing fictional public demo, not a vote by a verified neighborhood. Visitors have equal vote weight; votes and their history are public. The optional question records self-reported use of shared spaces, not residence or membership. Results are recalculated daily.

Before you start

Do we need a shortlist of five projects?

No. Five makes this demo easy to explore, not a requirement for your community vote. You can collect and review member proposals in Rezon. The number of options available depends on your plan and counting method; give participants enough information and time to compare them.

Can participants leave projects unranked?

Yes, this demo allows partial rankings. Every ranked project counts above every project left out; leaving one unranked is not a neutral “not assessed”. Set the ranking requirement for your own vote before inviting participants.

Does Rezon distribute the community budget?

This example chooses which eligible project comes first. It does not automatically select a combination of projects to fit a budget. Check costs and feasibility separately, and agree how the ranking will be used before voting.
