Scrolling through the posts I haven't seen any non-democracy focussed post. So let me add other options for digital voting that might be important:
Shareholders voting for trust of the board (not sure how to say this in English). These votes are usually influenced by who owns how much stock, so it's less about democracy and more about showing publicly that you have the support of the most influential stake holders.
Instead of an open source maintainer making a biased single-person decision how two branches should be merged or how a merge conflict should be resolved it could be done via voting.
Wether a transaction is accepted or not is voted on my distributed ledger participants, wether they know it or not. The moment you put your block on top of what you perceive as the ledgers top you vote for that previous block to be accepted.
Which picture is funny enough to get onto the front page of 9gag is voted on by the viewers.
Given incomplete data and a very short time till death doctors need to make decisions which procedure to apply to an emergency patient. This could be voted on given how many talents could be connected to a case in an instant digitally.
Which players should be matched together for a new round of Dota could be voted on digitally instead of leaving that completely to a digital choice algorithm.
It could be a way to lead humans and AI into a cooperative work environment. Having a few differently trained AIs and experts voting on which path to take with the business for instance.
