Voting and Results

After discussion, AnthroSim collects structured votes from all participants. Voting decisions follow each participant’s complete personality profile and the actual content of the conversation. Outcomes are not predetermined.

Example output:

{
  "vote_summary": {
    "topic": "Inclusionary zoning at 15% threshold",
    "total_participants": 47,
    "support": { "count": 27, "pct": 57.4 },
    "oppose":  { "count": 13, "pct": 27.7 },
    "neutral": { "count": 7,  "pct": 14.9 }
  },
  "representative_statements": {
    "support":  "Marcus Webb: 'With real enforcement teeth, I'm in.'",
    "oppose":   "Laura Kim: 'This kills small-scale development. Not the right tool.'",
    "neutral":  "Dr. Nair: 'Promising, but needs a 5-year review clause.'"
  }
}

The moderator announces results as part of the conversation, then AnthroSim exports them to JSON for analysis. Aggregate vote totals and directional breakdowns by demographic group are the most reliable outputs. Treat fine-grained subgroup splits as signals for further investigation; they are not statistically definitive.
