Above: An example of seven people voting on a numerical decision (eg tax rate). In the middle: an illustration of the problem. When only three of the seven vote, a non-representative result is obtained - in this case, much lower than the true average, which is 37. Below: illustration of the solution through delegation. Non-participating voters transfer their vote to the active voters closest to them. Thus, in this example, the average with delegation is slightly more than 38, meaning much closer to the preference of all voters.
