The reason for the support was not idle. The Constitution is a forerunner of what you can expect from the Council of Worlds. The individual counts. In a physical world, as humans are used to thinking the world is, one expects a physical ballot box. In human society, the verbal promise is often forgotten or skewered, so important promises and agreements are put into writing, and the verbiage precise.
Words can trap, and words can assure.
The essence of the vote is not skewered, either due to ignorance or deceit. The essence of the question under vote is faithfully relayed to the individual who has a right to vote, and the true intent of the voter is relayed to the ballot box, which in this case is not a box at all but a type of mental computer. Decisions are made based on the pecking order. This is a familiar enough concept to humans reading this dialog for us to skip further explanation. The answer to the latter question is no.
