suppose human duplication and merging technology exists. suppose i duplicate myself before an election with no intent to ever merge back into one. is it fair for both copies to get a vote? what if i half intend to merge back in a month? fully intend to merge back in a day?
if you voted "no no no": is it fair for me to get two votes if i duplicate myself in a lab accident? if it fair for me to get two votes if i duplicate involuntarily due to acute duplicatitis? is it fair for conjoined twins to get two votes?

if you voted "no no yes": is it fair for me to get two votes (on adulthood) if i duplicated due to duplicatitis at age 17? age 10? age 3?

to me the amount of time since duplication is what matters; with sufficient time there's enough divergence that I'd consider the two more like twins (who should both be able to vote) than the same person
-
so it's psychological divergence between duplication and vote that matters? why? would convergence also matter?

Assuming the question implies "accident happens while on the way to the voting station" so no chance for significant life events diverging the duplicates (no no yes)
