`draft` `optional`
The purpose of this nip is to create a mechanism for polling on nostr.
The NIP aims to have the following properties.
This NIP defines the event scheme that describe Polls on nostr.
1. 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", "<relay1 url>", "<relay 2 url>"],
["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.
