The only place where there's an option to use Cabinet Votes instead of Citizen Polls is in the chat.

yes, but this should be stated explicitly. many leavers thought they could be misused to limit importand decisions to cabinet and not get them to the citizen polls. the constitution leaves this point open, as a cabinet-vote can be used for anything.
so we should state that if a cabinet vote is not used for the intended purpose (constitution, etc.), for example for doing game decisions or overturning citizen polls, an investigation is the result
this will give the government the opportunity to still use them, but they have to lay open why they did so.

I see the problem now. What we need is to complete the definitions of the Council Votes. As the rules stand, a Council Vote can't be used for just anything - only the things that are defined in the Council Vote section. If we add 1 Article to that section and that should solve the problem. The Article to be added would be something like:
Catch-All Vote: The President or DP can call for a "catch-all" or miscellaneous purpose vote. This covers any aspect not defined by a specific Cabinet Vote. A Catch-All vote will automatically trigger an inquiry in the Investigation Thread.

Dis - there's no option to use a Cabinet Vote instead of a Citizen Vote in the Forum. That can only happen in the chat turn. Or am I just not understanding your point?

a cabinet-vote can be used to overturn any decision (as i and many others understand the constitution). this would of course lead to a ammendment for not following a poll, but this part nobody seems to realize.
i just wanted to have things stated clearly in the constitution, not so hidden as now (sorry that you get all the hits though)

Proposed poll:
Do you support the addition of a "catch-all" Council Vote? (see description)
[YES]
[NO]
[ABSTAIN]
Catch-All Vote: The President or Designated Player can call for a "catch-all" or miscellaneous purpose vote. This covers any aspect not defined by a specific Cabinet Vote category. A Catch-All vote will automatically trigger an inquiry in the Investigation Thread.
This would complete the definitions for Council Votes. If an additional vote "type" becomes recognizable by usage it can be removed from the catch-all clause and given its own definition and repercussions.
