1x SC acting as index. Ballots submitted with addBallot - most code kept on votingContract themselves. issuesHash is the sha256 of BallotSpecOuter JSON doc w/ ballot spec including issues. Ballot spec forward compatible via version tags.
addBallot(bytes32 democHash, bytes32 ballotSpecHash, bytes32 extraData, address votingContract)
Permissions controlled by whomever calls initDemoc - they can submit issues to issues via addBallot
initDemoc(string democName) public returns (bytes32)
Fires an event: NewDemoc(string democName, address democAdmin, bytes32 democHash)
No additional data for ballots in index contract.
Supports payment for democs/ballots via known address, not necessarily used. can be set by owner.
They can be arbitrary but best to keep a canonical set of versions.
Supports encrypted and plaintext ballots (note: not much to do on SC side here)
Supports versioned ballots via version tag - should match ballotSpec version
Note: in the spec below a Maybe a is either null or an a
uint256 public startTime; // can be 0 for no startTime
uint256 public endTime;
bytes32 public specHash; // should be equal to ballotSpecHash in Index
deprecated() public constant returns (bool); // used to mark ballots as broken if something bad happens

Polymorphic over ballotType (i.e. different internal structures depending on version)
{ ballotTitle :: String
, shortDesc :: String
, longDesc :: String
, startTime :: Int
, endTime :: Int
, erc20Addr :: String
, discussionLink :: Maybe String
, binding :: Bool
, encryptionPK :: Maybe String
, options :: OptionsOuter
}
Note: If encryptionPK is not null then the ballot SC must support publishing a secret key with method getEncSecretKey() public constant returns (bytes32).
Also note: in an earlier draft startTimes were optional, but this is somewhat unsafe. Better is to go by the latest time out of:
- when the contract was published
- and what the startTime says
So it shouldn't be possible to set the start time so early that current token holders are disenfranchised.
The rule is: if the voting contract has the latest start time, use that. If the start time is set to prior to the contract being published, use the timestamp of when the smart contract was published.
