Before you vote, it's important that you read through each framework carefully, as well as look at the TL's final post in the framework submissions thread linked here because this will guide the discussion for the entire CAP Process.
This will be a Ranked Pairs vote (RP) (a form of voting where each candidate is ranked according to head to head matchups with each of its competitors in a directed acyclic graph), the details of which were discussed here.
This is a ranked vote: order does matter! You can upvote your favorites and downvote your least favorites. You may choose to rank as many or as few options as you like, but we encourage you to rank as many options as possible to ensure your preferences are taken into account fully.
Bold your votes and nothing else!
A typical vote might look like the following:
Please post only your votes in this thread. You are allowed to say whatever you like in relation to your vote at the bottom of your post, but please do not look to begin a discussion. Keep those comments to the PS! CAP chatroom or the CAP Discord channel.
Asking for votes for your submission or for the submissions of others is not allowed. Anyone found to have done so risks punishment at the moderation team's discretion. If you find that someone has broken this rule, please contact the CAP moderation team with your evidence and no one else. Mini-moderation of this rule is also considered a serious offense and can be punished.
IMPORTANT: When voting, use only the exact name of the framework submissions as listed below! The framework submissions are quoted below in order of submission:

CAP uses automated scripts to count votes. For this reason, it is very important for all ballots to be submitted correctly. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred
Any comments that the voter has would go below the votes in non-bold text. Bold text is used to determine what the user's votes are, so none of the supplementary text should be in bold.
- The scripts count bold words in ballots, so do NOT bold anything in your ballot other than the options you are voting for.
- Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
- Only one option per line.
- The spelling of options must be EXACTLY correct and must match the spelling listed below.
- Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the vote counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.

IMPORTANT: When voting, use only the exact name of the framework submissions as listed below! The framework submissions are quoted below in order of submission:
Normal-type CAP
Competitive NFE/Evolution PairName: Normal-type CAP
Description: This CAP will have Normal-type be one of its two types, or its sole typing if it is mono-typed.
Weak Status Move AbilityName: Competitive NFE/Evolution Pair
Description: Two CAP Pokemon will be produced, one being an NFE and the other it's evolution, designed to fulfill different roles in the CAP metagame and be of a similar level of viability. As part of the same family line they will share at least one typing, all of the same competitive abilities, and the majority of their movepool with the evolution being allowed access to a few additional moves.
Overview of the restrictions:
- The two Pokemon must have at least one shared typing.
- The two Pokemon must share the exact same competitive abilities. There cannot be a competitive ability that is used by either Pokemon that is unavailable on the other.
- Every move that is learnt by the NFE must be learnt by the evolution. The evolution is able to have a few additional moves that are inaccessible to the NFE.
- The two Pokemon must have different roles that they excel in.
Giratina-style FormsName: Weak Status Move Ability
Description: This CAP has a custom ability that uses the effect of a weak status move upon switch-in.
Protean / Libero UserName: Giratina-style Forms
Description: This CAP has an out-of-battle form change like Giratina- the form change is only accessible through holding an unremovable custom item like Griseous Orb.
Restrictions:
-The mons, like Giratina, will share a typing, and movepool.
-The abilities can be completely different between forms.
-The stats can be different between forms, while maintaining the same base total. Note that this does not need to swap offenses and defenses like Giratina's forms, though this is not to exclude that option either. The way that stats differ between these two mons should be decided at the stats stage.

Description: Two CAPs are created, the first of which follows a regular CAP process. The second of which will at some point branch off of the first CAP by using the runner-up option of one, or multiple competitive polls. After that the second CAP will continue to be created as a second regular CAP process but still following the same concept.
