Poll Factory Smart Contract

info

Code location: PollFactory.sol

PollFactory is a smart contract that is used to deploy new Polls. This is used by MACI inside the deployPoll function.

/// @inheritdoc IPollFactory
function deploy(DeployPollArgs calldata _args) public virtual returns (address pollAddr) {
  // deploy the poll
  Poll poll = new Poll(
    _args.startDate,
    _args.endDate,
    _args.treeDepths,
    _args.messageBatchSize,
    _args.coordinatorPubKey,
    _args.extContracts,
    _args.emptyBallotRoot,
    _args.pollId,
    _args.relayers,
    _args.voteOptions
  );

  pollAddr = address(poll);
}

Upon deployment, the following will happen:

• ownership of the messageAq contract is transferred to the deployed poll contract
