Polling Order

A polling order is an Award in which the members of the order are polled on who they would like added to the group.

A Polling Order is one whose Companions are consulted by the Crown prior to elevating new members. These are the Orders of the Chivalry, the Laurel, and the Pelican (and the White Scarf?). In Caid, the consultation process is usually driven by the Orders, which proactively make recommendations to the Crown regarding those people the Companions should be added to the Order. Traditionally, Caidan monarchs do not elevate Their subjects to the Peerage without the consent of the Order.
