Does voting in Council's Dilemma happen simultaneously or does each player vote in turn order?

Council's Dilemma is a keyword ability that instructs each player to vote for one of two options. According to CR 701.32b, when a Council's Dilemma effect says 'starting with you,' players vote in turn order beginning with the active player, proceeding in turn order until each player has voted exactly once. This is sequential, not simultaneous.

This sequential nature is meaningful: players can observe how others have voted before making their own choice. There is no hidden voting or secret ballot in Council's Dilemma — each vote is public information as it is made, unlike some other game mechanics.

This contrasts with Will of the Council (CR 701.31), which uses the same sequential turn-order voting procedure. Both mechanics are transparent and ordered, allowing later voters to react strategically to earlier votes.

Example: It's your turn and Expropriate resolves. You vote first (choosing 'Time'), then each opponent votes in turn order. The last opponent to vote can see all previous votes and knows exactly whether 'Money' or 'Time' is winning before they cast their ballot.

Per CR 701.32c, after all players have voted, the effect counts each type of vote and applies the outcomes — giving each player who voted for each option whatever that option grants, and applying any 'for each vote' effects accordingly.
