What is Flexible Voting?

Flexible Voting is an extension to the widely used OpenZeppelin Governor that enables powerful integrations and novel voting schemes to be created.

How does Flexible Voting work?

With a Flexible Voting Governor, a delegate may split their vote weight between Against/For/Abstain. This is most useful when the delegate is itself a contract, implementing its own rules for voting. By allowing a contract-delegate to split its vote weight, the voting preferences of many disparate token holders can be rolled up into a single vote to the Governor itself.
