ElectionRegistry_CreateVoteMandate

ElectionRegistry_CreateVoteMandate is an integration mandate that initiates a new election by deploying a dedicated “Vote Mandate”.

Overview

In the PowerLabs election system, voting rights and logic are encapsulated in a temporary mandate (an instance of ElectionRegistry_Vote). This mandate factory handles the creation of these instances. When executed, it:

1. Calculates a unique ID for the new election based on the proposal details.
2. Deploys/Adopts a new ElectionRegistry_Vote mandate configured for that specific election.
3. Configures the new mandate to be accessible only by a specific voterRoleId.

This separation ensures that each election is isolated and access-controlled.

Configuration

When adopting an ElectionRegistry_CreateVoteMandate instance, the following parameters are required:

1. ElectionRegistry (address): The address of the ElectionRegistry helper contract.
2. ElectionRegistry_Vote (address): The address of the ElectionRegistry_Vote mandate implementation (used as a template).
3. maxVotes (uint256): The maximum number of votes a voter can cast in the spawned elections.
4. voterRoleId (uint256): The role ID that will be granted permission to call (vote in) the spawned mandate.

Usage

Proposing an Action

When calling the mandate, one parameter must be provided:

1. Title (string): A descriptive title for the election. The unique election ID is derived from this title and the Powers contract address.

Execution Flow

1. Initialization

   • Computes a unique electionId as keccak256(powers + title).
   • Prepares the initialization data (MandateInitData) for a new ElectionRegistry_Vote mandate.
   • Sets the configuration of the new mandate to point to the correct ElectionRegistry and electionId.
   • Sets the allowedRole condition of the new mandate to the configured voterRoleId.

2. Adoption

   • Generates a call to IPowers.adoptMandate to install the new vote mandate.
   • Returns the adoption call for execution.
