Title: Voting

 {Council's Judgment}
Is voting done out loud or written down?

     Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
    You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.
    No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
    Players can't do anything after they finishing voting but before the spell or ability that included the vote finishes resolving.
    The phrase "the vote is tied" refers only to when there is more than one choice that received the most votes. For example, if a 5-player vote from among three different choices ends 3 votes to 1 vote to 1 vote, the vote isn't tied.

Either way, just as long as the person making a vote knows all the votes beforehand.

i was watching a star city vid, on youtube, and one of the pro guys played against councils judgement on mtgo and it wasnt telling him what they voted for. not saying that means anything for the ruling, i agree its all outloud but just think its funny that mtgo is glitched to not tell you what your opponents vote for (or he just couldnt find the information, as it wasnt in the chat). he ended up giving his opponents extra hits cause he couldnt vote with them.
