Vote Chess Rules?

We are playing 22 VC games at the moment and I think it would be reasonable to agree on some rules. I guess they are almost the same in every group. 

1) Since we have quite a few admins and super admins one of them should be able to make a call when it is time to start casting our votes. They would sum up the discussion and let us know what move the team thinks to be the best. We all should vote for the move. It can happen that more than one moves seem to be equally good. In such a case, we would be asked to chose and vote one of them. Noone should vote before the call is made unless ...

2) If no call has been made and we are running short of time (let us say we have less than 4 hours left) anyone could vote. Having done so they should post a comment informing the others about it. The other team members will know there is no risk of losing on time any more and they can wait for a call or vote a different move if the first player chose a mistake or a blunder. And again, they should inform the others about it.

Since I am neither a super admin nor an admin of Got Chess I only ask our leaders to think of the above and agree on some rules.

There`s something I`d like to ask about. Does anybody know what move is made when two or more of them get the same number of votes? In this game (move 11) 3 votes were cast for both a6 and b6 and we played a6. Was it because

  • because the last vote cast was for a6? 
  • because the average rating of players who preferred a6 was higher than the one of those who voted b6? 
  • because the highest rated player voted a6? 

Votes for move 11 - a6 made

  • 11...a6 (50%)
  • 11...b6 (50%)
6 votes cast.

I`ve found an answer to my question but there must be a bug.

Chess.com says:

What happens when there is a tie vote for moves?

If two candidate moves have an equal number of votes when it's time to move, the system will pick the move that was voted for first.

When you look at the move 11 (you have to join the game first) you`ll see something else (see below). I`ll have to ask the chess.com staff about it.

yes the 1 which is voted first is cleared , regardless of the ratings of the members who have voted.

there was a same incidence with me , when i use to be admin and called for votes which was not so good , later confirmed by the high rated members , then we tried to clear the other good move with remaining members vote , but unfortunatly it turned out to tie between the two moves, and the wrong move which was voted first got cleared. ( even when high rated players voted for other move )
