Council's dilemma — Starting with you, each player votes for time or money. For each time vote, take an extra turn after this one. For each money vote, choose a permanent owned by the voter and gain control of it. Exile Expropriate.
No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.

If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council's dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won't generate an effect.

Players can't do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.

The effects of each council's dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.
