Introducing Optical Referendum, an extension to make voting more prominent and see who has made a choice. Oftentimes I use /vote ready after mid-session break, but as people play with dice or leave messages in chat, it's easy for folks to lose track or simply not realize that there is a ready check. This extension introduces a window with each user's portrait and an indication of their vote, or a blank circle if a vote for that user has not been submitted.

To open this window for all connected users, simply use the GM-only slash command, /or [query], replacing "[query]" with your question. This part will be bound to the window title, so if you use /or ready? you can make a very straightforward ready check (as seen in the example image).

You can find the extension on the Forge, here:

I'm glad, thanks! :) It was by far the default behavior they were trying when I introduced this to my players this week lol

This probably needs an update with the change to the portrait size.

Is there a way to close the window after the vote is done? The only way I found is by statring a new referendum

The GM clicks the check (tick) or X button in the window.

The GM can close with either checkbox.. not really intuitive.. better a single button just said what it did..
Close
But that's how it works
