Review notes about natively voting on notion pages with respect

With the new Notion button feature, is it possible to make a formula in Notion whereby you could enable people to vote in a database with buttons in Notion and have a formula that calculates a different score for each person and use that to create kind of a voting weight in Notion where people can upvote a topic in a database with a database button and then the counter doesn't just go up by one but there's a counter that goes up by a certain amount of points for each person depending on what they vote.

Yes, it's possible to create a voting system in Notion with the button feature in databases, where each vote can have a different weight based on the person voting or other criteria. Here's a simplified way to set it up:

1. Create a Database: Start by creating a database for the topics or items people will vote on.
2. Add a Number Property: This will be your "Vote Counter" property, which will hold the total score each topic has received from votes.
3. Create a Formula Property: This formula will calculate the new score based on the existing score and the vote's weight. The complexity of your formula will depend on how you want to weight each vote. For a simple implementation, you could just add a fixed number per vote.
4. Use Buttons to Adjust Scores: Notion's button feature doesn't directly support running formulas or scripts. However, you can set up a button to increment the Vote Counter by a fixed amount. To dynamically change the amount based on who is voting or apply different weights, you would need to manually adjust the value it increments by or use an external integration or tool that interacts with Notion's API to automate this process.

For a weighted voting system where different users' votes count for different amounts, you'd likely need to:

• Use Notion's API to customize the voting logic further.
• Keep track of each user's voting weight outside of the basic button functionality, as Notion currently doesn't have built-in user recognition in this context.

This setup is somewhat limited by Notion's current functionality. The direct application of different weights for each user's vote via buttons isn't straightforward without external integrations. Tools like Zapier, Integromat, or custom scripts using Notion's API could help automate the process, where a script could adjust the Vote Counter based on the voter's predetermined weight.

Keep in mind, as Notion updates and adds new features, there might be more direct ways to implement this in the future or through creative use of the current functionalities combined with third-party tools.

Is it possible to use a roll-up so you can automatically input a different voting weight for each different person in one database or in one property of a database and then use that roll-up or perhaps even a reference instead of a roll-up to show the voting score for each person so when you do the counter then you can calculate in the formula the vote from each person and then multiply that by their voting weight that is manually input into another property or into another field in a database via a reference or a roll-up?

Yes, you can use a combination of roll-up and formula properties in Notion to implement a weighted voting system where each person's vote can have a different weight. This approach involves linking two databases: one for the voters (or users) with their respective voting weights, and the other for the topics or items being voted on. Here's a basic outline of how you could set this up:

1. Voters Database: Create a database for voters. Each entry represents a person, and there should be a property for the voting weight of each person. You manually input the voting weight here.
2. Topics Database: Create a second database for the topics or items that people can vote on. This is where votes will be tallied.
3. Relation and Roll-up: In the Topics Database, create a relation property to the Voters Database. This allows you to link voters to topics. Then, use a roll-up property to aggregate the voting weights from the Voters Database based on the relations you've set up. For example, if a topic has been voted on by several users, you can sum up their voting weights.
4. Voting Mechanism: You'll need a way to record votes. This could be as simple as creating a multi-select property in the Topics Database where each vote is an entry, or more complex involving external tools or manual adjustments.
5. Calculate Scores with a Formula: Use a formula property in the Topics Database to calculate the total score for each topic. This formula would multiply the number of votes (or a base score) by the aggregated voting weight from the roll-up property.

Here's a simple formula structure:

• Base Score Calculation: This could be a count of the number of votes or entries in a multi-select or relation property.
• Weighted Score Calculation: Multiply the base score by the sum of the voting weights (from the roll-up property) to get the weighted score.

This setup assumes that each vote is equal and the differentiation comes from the voter's weight. Adjusting for votes to have different base values before weighting would complicate this further and might require manual intervention or external automation.

This method relies heavily on manual input for voting and setting up relations between databases. For more dynamic or complex voting systems, integrating Notion with external tools through its API might be necessary to automate these processes.

Consider using the Notion API to Implement voting in Notion Databases

Is it possible to have a kind of a rank choice voting system or a voting system where people can use their voting points or voting scores and allocate a different amount to different topics. Would this be possible in Notion with a formula?I'm curious about the API, if that would be relatively simple to do for any of this, but I do prefer if it's just all built into Notion.

Implementing a rank choice voting system or a system where people can allocate different amounts of their voting points to different topics directly within Notion using only formulas and built-in features would be challenging. Notion's current functionality is somewhat limited when it comes to complex operations like these, which require dynamic user input and advanced calculations. However, I'll outline a conceptual approach to achieve something similar within Notion's limitations and then touch on how the API might extend these capabilities.

Conceptual Approach within Notion

1. Voters Database: This would include each voter's total available points and possibly other relevant details.
2. Topics Database: Each topic or item to be voted on would be listed here. You could set up properties to track the total points allocated to each topic.
3. Voting Allocation: Ideally, you'd want a system where each voter can allocate points to different topics. This could be managed by creating a third "Votes" database, where each entry represents a point allocation from a voter to a topic. This database would have relations to both the Voters and Topics databases and include a number property for the amount of points allocated.
4. Roll-up and Formulas: In the Topics Database, use roll-up properties to sum the points allocated from the "Votes" database. Similarly, you could track each voter's remaining points in the Voters Database by summing the points they've allocated and subtracting this from their total available points.

This setup is manual and would require voters to create a new entry in the "Votes" database for each allocation of points, which might not be the most user-friendly or efficient process.

Extending Capabilities with the Notion API

Using the Notion API opens up more possibilities. You could build a custom interface for voting that allows users to easily allocate their points to different topics. The API could then update the databases in Notion accordingly. This would enable a more dynamic and flexible system, allowing for complex calculations like rank choice voting or point allocation to be handled more efficiently.

1. Custom Voting Logic: A script or application could manage the logic for rank choice voting or point allocations, ensuring that votes are distributed according to user preferences and within their available points.
2. Automated Updates: The API could automate the process of updating the Topics Database with the allocated points and adjust the Voters Database to reflect the remaining points.

Developing a custom solution with the API would not be "relatively simple" for someone without programming experience, as it requires knowledge of software development and familiarity with the Notion API. However, for a developer, it's certainly feasible and could offer a highly customized voting system that fully meets your needs.

In summary, while Notion's built-in features may provide a basic framework for a voting system, leveraging the Notion API would be necessary for implementing more complex voting mechanisms, like rank choice voting or flexible point allocation, in a user-friendly manner.

Is there any way to make it so that people in the notion page could only vote topics once (or a certain amount of times) with their votes?

Is there any way to limit their total amount of votes across topics so that they could allocate a certain amount of votes to a database item and a certain other amount of votes to different database items, but not exceed their total voting power?

Implementing a system within Notion to limit the number of votes per person, ensuring they can vote on topics only once or a specified number of times, and managing the total allocation of their voting power across various topics requires a bit of creative setup due to Notion's inherent limitations. However, with careful structuring, you can create a framework that approximates this functionality, mainly through manual monitoring and some clever database structuring. Here’s how you might approach it:

Setup for Limiting Votes

1. Voters Database: Create a database for your voters where each entry is a voter. Include properties for the total voting power (the total number of votes a person can cast) and a property for tracking used voting power.
2. Topics Database: This database lists the topics people can vote on. You might not be able to limit votes per topic directly within Notion without manual oversight or using external tools.
3. Votes Database: This is a crucial part of the setup. Create a separate database for logging votes. Each entry would link to a voter and a topic, indicating a vote has been cast. Include a numeric property to indicate the number of votes cast for that entry if you're allowing allocation of multiple votes to the same topic.
4. Relation and Roll-up Properties: Use these to track and sum votes per topic and per voter. In the Voters Database, create a roll-up property that sums all votes cast by that voter across all topics, allowing you to monitor if they've exceeded their voting power. In the Topics Database, a roll-up can sum total votes received.

Limiting Voting Power and Vote Count

To ensure a voter doesn’t exceed their allocated voting power and limits their votes per topic:

• Manual Monitoring: You'll have to rely on manual checking or periodic reviews to ensure voters don't exceed their vote allocations. Notion doesn't currently offer automatic enforcement of such limits.
• Instructional Guidance: Provide clear instructions on the Notion page on how voters should cast their votes, including how to spread their voting power across topics and the maximum number of votes per topic.

Automating with the Notion API

For a more automated solution, especially for enforcing vote limits and allocations dynamically, using the Notion API could be highly beneficial. You could develop a custom interface or a script that interacts with your Notion databases to:

• Enforce Vote Limits: Automatically check a voter's used and remaining voting power before allowing a vote to be cast or a vote allocation to be made.
• Limit Votes per Topic: Ensure that a voter can only vote once per topic or limit the number of times they can vote on a single topic, according to your rules.

While this requires development effort and programming knowledge, it would offer a more seamless and automated voting process within Notion, circumventing the manual checks and potential for error inherent in a purely Notion-based setup.

Both approaches — using Notion's databases creatively or extending functionality with the Notion API — can work, but the best choice depends on your specific needs, the complexity of your voting system, and your resources for development and oversight.
