There does not seem to be any funtionality for editing one's own vote. Someone might want to change from support to against or vice versa if the direction of a campaign changes or new information changes one's view of things. It also doesn't seem possible to switch from being an anonymous voter to a named one when the vote was made as a logged-in user. So the software prevents re-voting of the same logged-in people (but possibly not those who were not logged in!) and does not offer the opportunity to change either the state or the anonymity of the vote.

Firstly can I say how interesting I have found "iCan" and look forward to many visits to this site.
I would like to suggest that the e-mail address be added to other information for such as MP's EMP's and others in the public sector

Hello iCan, I just want to know how to find all the campaigns, to read them, please. I have posted mine and I have seen one other 'message' about identity cards, but I do not know if the writer of this message has also posted a campaign.

Anyway, I wish you well in this launch of the iCan webpages. I can see the geat potential of it and look forward to when it is 'official'. Bye for now, Elizabeth.
