Provide a method for gauging eligibility. Only eligible votes should be counted. -2. Provide a method for maintaining anonymity. Participants should be able to not reveal their identities to everyone, yet their votes should be counted. -3. Provide a mechanism for verifiability. Participants should be able to verify that their votes have been counted, under an eligibility criteria. +The NIP makes the following tradeoffs. + +1. All votes are public. +2. All responses are editable (latest by timestamp considered last response) ## Events ### Poll Content -The poll event is defined as a `kind:1068` event. This event carries over the `name` , `description` and `field` tags as defined in [nip-101](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1190/files). -This event has no other tags and completely defines the poll content, which is uneditable. +The poll event is defined as a `kind:1068` event. Major tags in the poll event are: + +- **label**: The accompanying text of the poll. +- **option**: The option tags contain an OptionId(any alphanumeric) field, followed by an option label field. +- **relays**: Set of relays that the poll is expecting respondents to respond on. +- **settings**: A JSON stringified object that may hold poll level configs and client specific configs. + +Example Event + +```json +{ + "content": "", + "created_at": 1719888496, + "id": "9d1b6b9562e66f2ecf35eb0a3c2decc736c47fddb13d6fb8f87185a153ea3634", + "kind": 1068, + "pubkey": "dee45a23c4f1d93f3a2043650c5081e4ac14a778e0acbef03de3768e4f81ac7b", + "sig": "7fa93bf3c430eaef784b0dacc217d3cd5eff1c520e7ef5d961381bc0f014dde6286618048d924808e54d1be03f2f2c2f0f8b5c9c2082a4480caf45a565ca9797", + "tags": [ + ["label", "Pineapple on Pizza"], + ["option", "qj518h583", "Yay"], + ["option", "gga6cdnqj", "Nay"], + ["relays", "", ""], + ["settings", "{\"PollType\": \"singlechoice\" }"] + ] +} +``` ### Responses -The response event is the same as the one on [nip-101](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1190/files) +The response event is a `kind:1018` event. It contains an e tag referencing the poll event it is referencing, followed by one or more response tags. -### Eligibilty +- **response** : The tag contains "response" as it's first positional argument followed by the option Id selected. -Eligibility to a vote is determined by another `kind:30180` event that can be created by anyone and is essentially a reference to a list of pubkeys, the author of the eligibility event is interested in. The eligibility event MUST contain an "e" tag to the poll event, and -"list" tags which references either a `kind:3` (contact list) or a `kind:30000`(follow sets) containing a list of "p" tags. +Example Response Event -### Counting Results. +```json +{ + "content": "", + "created_at": 1720097117, + "id": "60a005e32e9596c3f544a841a9bc4e46d3020ca3650d6a739c95c1568e33f6d8", + "kind": 1018, + "pubkey": "1bc70a0148b3f316da33fe7e89f23e3e71ac4ff998027ec712b905cd24f6a411", + "sig": "30071a633c65db8f3a075c7a8de757fbd8ce65e3607f4ba287fe6d7fbf839a380f94ff4e826fbba593f6faaa13683b7ea9114ade140720ecf4927010ebf3e44f", + "tags": [ + ["e", "1fc80cf813f1af33d5a435862b7ef7fb96b47e68a48f1abcadf8081f5a545550"], + ["response", "gga6cdnqj"] + ] +} +``` -Results can be counted for different eligibility events, by querying for `kind:1069` events only authored by the pubkeys mentioned in the eligibility event. +### Poll Types -### Anonymous Voting +Poll Types can be configured in the settings object of the poll, the setting dictates how multiple response tags are handled in the `kind:1018` event. -For people that wish to maintain anonymity, while still having their votes counted can do so by signing the response event with a random private key and sending over the corresponding pubkey to the author of a `kind:30180` eligibility event. The author of the eligibility event may demand "proofs of eligibility" before adding the pubkey in any of the lists. +- **PollType: singlechoice**: The first response tag is to be considered the actual response. +- **PollType: multiplechoice**: The first response tag pointing to each id is considered the actual response, without considering the order. +- **PollType: rankedchoice**: The first response tag pointing to each id is the considered the actual response, while also taking into account the order of the response tags. + +### Counting Results + +Results can be queried by fetching `kind:1018` events from the relays specified in the poll. +The results displayed should only be 1 vote per pubkey. +In case of multiple events for a pubkey, the event with the largest timestamp should be considered. + +### Curation + +The clients may configure fetching results by specific people. This can be achieved by creating `kind:30000` follow sets, and fetching results only from the follow set. +Clients can also employ other curation algorithms, like Proof Of Work and Web of Trust scores for result curations. + +### Private Polls + +This nip does not cover private polling, Clients may follow [forms nip](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1190) for private polling.
