Voting hat

The Voting hat was released with the Tools for Games update on 15 July 2009. It is sold by Faruq in Al-Kharid. Its purpose is to let players create games more easily. The hat is actually two different colours: red on one side and blue on the other side. If one wishes to change the hat's colour from red to blue, he should right-click the hat while it is in his inventory and select "Turn out Voting hat (red)" and it will change to blue, or vice versa. While in a clan, these hats can be used in conjunction with the Orb of Counting. The Orb of Counting counts the number of red and blue hats to help with a voting process. It also is untradeable(at the grand exchange) and costs 6gp.These hats have recently become quite popular with players wearing Zamorak robes and/or Wizard robes, depending on which way the hat is turned. Players also wearing this hat as it looks like christmas hat.

The voting hat cannot be sold on the Grand Exchange.

If a voting hat is dropped, another player can pick it up after a short amount of time.

Glitches
Logging in wearing the Voting hat with spiky hair causes the hair to go through the hat.

Trivia

 * Malignius Mortifer looks like he is wearing a black voting hat (although it doesn't exist in the game).
 * The voting hat (red) has been used as a substitute to the much more expensive Santa hat by free players to match the Santa suit. Members have the use of Fez as a more convincing substitute.
 * The hat can only sold back to Faruq in the red form. If it is blue, the player must turn it inside out.
