The Mayor approaches you with unprecedented CIVIC SOLEMNITY, adjusting his sash no fewer than seventeen times before beginning the most important democratic process of his career. He produces two meticulously constructed BALLOT BOXES from his executive collection - a YES box and a NO box. He has prepared official voting instructions by carefully tearing pages from what appears to be a genuine copy of Robert's Rules of Order and folding them into small origami citizens.
He gestures toward a series of campaign promises written in Tab residue on the wall: "MORE CANS", "DEMOCRATIC CANS", "SERENITY FOR VICE MAYOR", and something that might say "POSTAL SERVICE" but could also be "PASTA SERVANT". He has prepared official ballots from torn napkin pieces and indicates through emphatic pointing that each forum member is entitled to ONE VOTE.
To demonstrate the voting process, he gestures that a forum user can easily vote by COPY-PASTING the YES box, or the NO box. Forum users are also entitled to voice their own opinions along with their vote:

He concludes by banging his bottle-cap gavel and declaring the polls OFFICIALLY OPEN.
