Voting tags basics Some conferences have PC members vote for papers. Each PC member is assigned a vote allotment, and can distribute that allotment arbitrarily among unconflicted papers. The PC's aggregated vote totals might help determine which papers to discuss.

HotCRP supports voting through the tags system. The chair can define a set of voting tags and allotments. PC members vote by assigning the corresponding twiddle tags; the aggregated PC vote is visible in the public tag.

For example, assume that an administrator defines a voting tag “vote” with an allotment of 10 votes. To vote for a paper, PC members add the “~vote” tag. Adding “~vote#2” assigns two votes, and so forth. The system ensures no PC member exceeds the allotment. The publicly visible “vote” tag is automatically set to the total number of PC votes for each paper. Hover to learn how the PC voted:
