# GovOPlaN Voting Codex Guide

## Scope

This module owns governed ballot definitions, frozen electorates, vote
receipts, tallying, certification, challenge, and annulment. Committee owns
deliberation, Poll owns informal preferences, Decisions owns the resulting
institutional decision, and Encryption owns key custody. Do not claim ballot
secrecy or legal certification unless an explicit provider supplies and proves
that assurance profile.

## Documentation Contract

- Update manifest-driven user/admin documentation with behavior changes.
- Keep Gitea issues as the delivery source of truth.
- Keep recorded, confidential, secret, and externally certified assurance
  profiles explicit and fail closed when a required provider is unavailable.
