I think there should be a discussion around the issue of “permenent” votes. What if, for example, someone dies, but his votes for congress stay on blockchain indefinitely? It’s a situation that must be addressed properly. I suggest that votes should be deleted after voter inactivity after 1 to 2 years. Don’t know if it’s easy or not for implementing such rule in existing environment, and maybe even such case is already thought of in Substrate blockchains? If not, something definitely should be done about it.

Agree that there is merit to this and if possible after 1 or 2 years the votes are not counted in unless some activity or change happens on their voting preference/order.

Hello! Yes, this sounds as a good idea, to cancel one’s vote after some time. There should be a number of requests to do a transaction (transactions are very cheap), like a “dead man switch”. If after five attempts you do not give any feedback, your vote should be set to “not voting”.
For truly dead people, the estate of those gets inherited, the judiciary takes care of that. That is no problem.
Related to this, I need to ask if Liberland logic for voting is actually the same logic that is implemented in Substrate blockchains? Don’t know how much deep the development gone and if the Libernance governance is actually the same governance as OpenGov is? Polkadot OpenGov - Polkadot Wiki
We made quite a few changes. Main one is that we have two tokens. LLD is used for security and LLM for political voting. Than we don’t have technical commission like polkadot and we also have two chambers. Polkadot doesn’t have juditiary not public veto.
But the system of voting with Dots in referendum is surprisingly similar to what we envisioned for LLM. Exciting is algorithm itself that makes sure you don’t waste any votes as they are always distribute in optimal way across your favorite candidates.
