Term2.png DOTMOCRACY
Dotmocracy also known as known as “dot voting” “sticky-dot voting” or “sticker voting,” is an established facilitation method for collecting and prioritizing ideas among a large number of people.

Participants apply dots (using pens, markers or most commonly stickers) under or beside written ideas to show which ones they prefer. The final result is a graph-like visual representation of the group’s collective preferences.

Dotmocracy is an alternative to traditional one person, one vote voting and is similar to the facilitation technique called "multi-voting".

Dotmocracy is often used within Open Space Technology facilitation to recognize popularity of ideas and topics.

While Dotmocracy is not required within a traditional consensus facilitation model, it can often serve as a useful tool to help direct the focus of deliberations and recognize existing agreements within a large group. [1]
