Start by reviewing the requested dot-vote behavior and the Loomio dot-vote reference linked in the issue, then read the related discussion in issue #765. Done means the app supports dot-vote polls and allows an outcome to be set and published when the poll is completed.

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
Describe the goal you'd like to achieve

I often use this type of voting when facilitating group processes to give participants the opportunity to prioritise their available resources from a wide range of options.

For this new poll type, it should also be possible to set & publish an outcome as soon as the poll is completed.

Describe possible solutions
