It's not that hard if only members can vote.

I'm not saying that's necessarily what we should do (still open to
discussion), but from a technical point of view, it does make it
possible, simply by requiring to be authenticated with ones iChain login
to be able to vote, and associate each vote with the authenticated user
name.

Of course, prerequisite being that one person only received member
status once (i.e. not with different names/email addresses).
While it isn't possible to make sure at 100% that there is no abuse wrt
member status (one individual making several requests with fake
identities), the risk is low IMO, as we do some research on each
membership request before granting it.

cheers
