What this referendum means

What was proposed?

This was the first of three referenda carrying the same runtime-1920 proposal. Voters rejected it before execution.

Why it mattered

The sequence shows that rejection of one referendum does not permanently prevent an identical technical proposal from being resubmitted.

An Aye vote meant…

An Aye vote supported installing the runtime later verified as spec version 1920.

A Nay vote meant…

A Nay vote opposed this attempt.

What happened or is happening

The proposal hash matches #60 and #61. Historical runtime state confirms that #61 ultimately changed specVersion 1910 to 1920.

The referendum was rejected and did not execute. The identical proposal later timed out as #60 and succeeded as #61.

If approved, dispatch the runtime-upgrade proposal later executed by referendum #61 to install spec version 1920.

No runtime deployment occurred through this referendum.

Promised outcomes

Install the runtime later identified as spec version 1920 if approved.

Verified outcomes

Follow-up: not-applicable

Outcome is tied to the dispatch result and verified runtime state, not the lifecycle label alone.

Still unknown
