What about a coin with a concept like this?:
Easy Vanity Voting
Abstract:
A simple, trustless, decentralized (p2p), proof-of-stake voting system achieved through voter generated vanity Bitcoin addresses.
Characteristics:
· Decentralized (p2p)
· Zero-trust (users retain complete control over 100% of their coins)
· Anyone can create a poll, vote and audit results.
· Theoretically, anyone could even implement the vote results (so long as any modified code was released open-source with binaries compiled using verifiable gitian builds).
· Based on Bitcoin blockchain
· Psuedo-anonymous
· Transparent
· Non-binding
· Auditable
· Adjustable to resist double-spends (double-votes)
· One-bitcoin-one-vote (as opposed to one-person-one-vote)
· Compatible with proxy voting pools
· Possibly, compatible with cumulative voting (to protect minority voting rights)
· Possibly, compatible with a modified form of instant run-offs
· Easy Vanity Voting functionality could be added to the client if this idea took hold
· Utilizes open-source command-line vanity address generator

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Vanitygen Summary of System:
Easy Vanity Voting is a decentralized voting system that allows anyone to propose, cast and audit votes using end-user generated vanity addresses, where total votes cast equals total coins sent to each voter's self-controlled "vanity-voting address."
1. Any member from the community can propose a question along with possible answer choices.
2. Each answer choice is associated with a unique 6-letter “voting-address prefix.”
3. The question, possible answer choices (w/ corresponding “voting-address prefixes) and a blockheight-deadline (+ n confirmations) are publicly posted.
4. Before voting, each voting coinholder creates a unique, self-controlled “vanity-voting address” where the first 6-bits of said generated address match the posted 6-letter “voting-address prefix” corresponding to their desired vote choice.
5. During the voting period, each voting coinholder sends as many coins as they can/want to their self-controlled “vanity-voting address” until the blockheight-deadline (+ n confirmations) has passed.
6. One-Bitcoin equals one-vote.
7. At the blockheight-deadline (+ n confirmations), address balances for all addresses matching the applicable “voting-address prefixes” and meeting confirmation requirements are tallied and compared.
8. The answer choice with address balances exceeding 50% of total coins cast as votes is deemed the winner.
9. In the event no answer choice has address balances exceeding 50% of total coins cast as votes, a subsequent run-off election can be held between the top two vote choices.

Proof-of-Concept:
Easy Vanity Voting Example
· An Easy Vanity Voting question has 3 parts: (1) the question, (2) potential answer choices and (3) Blockheight deadline (+ n confirmation).
· In this example we have 31 users using 100 coins to vote on a question 11 with 6 possible answers (100 coins were used to have round numbers).
