Each player must vote for one of the available options. They can't abstain.

Votes are cast in turn order, and each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

No player votes until Expropriate resolves. Any responses to the spell must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.

Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council's dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.

Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council's dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won't generate an effect.
