How to fix techwebs?

Democracy is at the root of all successful institutions. The United States of America, my elementary school's student government, /tg/station, and now, the science department.
Remove the RnD console's ability to unlock nodes by itself. Public voting consoles will be added to the map in places similar to newscasters. Could even add them to modular computers/tablets/laptops. Everyone can vote on which node to unlock. The head of each department and the captain can put nodes on the "ballot". This allows for a maximum of six nodes on the ballot at once. One from the HoS, HoP, RD, CMO, CE, and captain.
Voting would be linked to your ID to prevent voter fraud. However, you can steal another person's ID/make more IDs and use those to commit voter fraud. Unknowns are not able to vote.
Head level IDs are allowed to select their department's node based on access to their office. If the ID is all access, it's based on job title. If the job title is custom, then the person has to select which department they're from. They can only propose one node per ID.
Here's how it would work, step by step:
1. Scientist starts the voting process from the RnD console.
2. The voting machines make a localized announcement: "Heads of staff may now propose nodes to be voted on.", like a newscaster would.
3. Heads of staff propose nodes.
4. After a minute, voting starts- again another localized announcement.
5. After another minute, voting ends. The winning node is immediately unlocked.
6. The second place, third place, fourth place, and so on nodes are unlocked as soon as there's enough points for them- a kind of research queue.
Anyway I was gonna post this in the shitty ideas thread but i worked way too hard on it for that so instead im gonna post it here to make sci mains angry at me.
