Workflow to collect multiple outcomes from a group?

Hey all, 

 

Very new to Nintex so please bear with me. I am trying to build a workflow that will allow me to collect "votes" from a Committee. The vote choices being "Approve," "Deny," "Question". 

 

I tried using the Assign Flexi Task option but it cancelled the workflow out after two people voted. 

So I then tried the Request Data option but it takes the first response. 

 

How would I go about developing a workflow that will allow nine members of a committee to answer independently? 

 

Thank you in advance!

    @lemonlemona .....you can use flexi task and below assignees field there is a check box "Create individual tasks for all group members", just checked that and since you doing voting with odd number of people you need to select "Majority decides" or "Majority must choose a specific outcome" as Behaviour.

    Use the action "Assign to-do task" with the task option "All must respond"

    We actually tried that but once the majority voted, it wouldn't let the others vote.

    Example: We tested with three people, two voted "Approve" and the third got an email saying their response was no longer needed. 

     

    We have to record everyone's individual vote regardless of the majority so it would not work in our case. 

     

    Thank you though.

    Assign To-Do Task seems to be the solution! THANK YOU!

     

    However, it is not stopping the task reminders once someone votes... I used a custom content type for a vote so I'm assuming it has something to do with the workflow not recognizing that that content type is the outcome for completion.
