1. It records the association between an individual's voting rights and the collectives that granted those rights. 2. It will allow us to provide per-community ballots in the future if it is ever needed - the current poll system has support for this but it hasn't been used. The list of people eligible to vote in community-wide elections such as the OGB elections is simply the list of registrants who have one or more relationships with any collective of the 'Electorate' type. -- Alan Burlison --
