The programmer inside me cries
"deadlock";) You wait until some/all of
the respected and some/all of the others made their vote, to know what
you will vote? If this will be done by everyone, voting won't work.
I think time for influences is in the discussion before the voting and
not during voting. But this topic isn't realy important in case of
wikipedia desissions.
For example: one important thing (IMHO) for Wikipedia is the speed of a
database request. In the voting and in the discussion about the Article
count nobody calculated the complexity of some of the options. I think
some of the admins will refuse methods for this count which will need a
lot of performance. And I would respect such a decision.
