Voting Contract

/*
*
*   In this example, we want to create a simple approval voting contract
*   where a polling place issues ballots to addresses.
*
*   The run a vote, the Admin deploys the smart contract,
*   then initializes the proposals
*   using the initialize_proposals.cdc transaction.
*   The array of proposals cannot be modified after it has been initialized.
*
*   Then they will give ballots to users by
*   using the issue_ballot.cdc transaction.
*
*   Every user with a ballot is allowed to approve any number of proposals.
*   A user can choose their votes and cast them
*   with the cast_vote.cdc transaction.
*
