Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
Unfortunately the debate functionality uses plural voting only. The plan is to develop a module which uses the nominees gathered with the debate module, and conduct condorcet voting on them. The sortitions module have some similar functionalities, so modifying it is a possible way to go.

Conversation with Virgile Deville
At Open Source Politics we also face these kind of demands : preferential voting, majority judgement voting. @lucas_hamani is currently exploring these possibilities maybe he can share more
I would love to hear anything about it @lucas_hamani

We haven't done much yet since our clients requests are about very different use cases from one another.
So far we focused on introducing preferential voting within the budget component through a module of ours which is "Vote per project". We haven't had the chance to send this module to the master. I hope we'll correct that really really soon.
Our "Vote per project" enables the admin to shift the participant focus on the projects rather than the budget allocated to them when voting for a participatory budget. It works the following way :
Participants are asked to vote for a number projects of his choosing regardless of the budget allocated to them. The number of projects to be selected is set by the admin in the budget component back office.
Once the vote is closed, the winning projects are all the projects the most voted for within the total budget limit.
The other advantage of this vote method being it that it is much simpler to enact offline simultaneously. It is much easier for a participant to choose any number of projects among many rather than do some maths to make sure the projects he chose are within the budget limit.
Unfortunately I can't direct you to a live example since none of our clients doing a participatory budget are in the voting phase.
To introduce preferential voting through this module, we thought about adding a weight to each projects selected by a participant according to the order he selected them. The first project selected being the most wanted by the participant, the fifth one being the least wanted by the participant among his choices.
