# kaal:position:2026-08-08-214

**Affirmed position.** Quadratic Voting and Member Voice in DC Pension Schemes states that quadratic voting captures preference intensity by quadratically allocating voting credits rather than treating all preferences equally. This independently corresponds to Kaal's preference-intensity rationale for quadratic-style microdemocratic allocation. The proposition alone does not establish outcome superiority or implementation feasibility in pension governance.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08
