Since some names may be popular, the registration process includes a voting mechanism to resolve conflicts when multiple identities request the same name. This is only done for names that meet both of the following conditions:

* The name is less than 20 characters long
* The name contains no numbers greater than two
* Less than 20 characters long (i.e.. "alice", "quantumexplorer")
* Contains no numbers or only contains the number(s) 0 and/or 1 (i.e. "bob", "carol01")

If only one identity requests the name, they will receive it after a one week waiting period. If multiple identities request the name, a weeklong voting period will begin one week after the first request was received. Masternodes and evonodes can vote for one of the identities or vote to lock the request. After voting concludes, the name is either awarded to one of the identities or locked. In Dash Platform v1.0, locked names can no longer be requested or awarded.
