Each person on iNaturalist gets one vote. A second account used to confirm your own identifications, Data Quality Assessment votes, annotations, or anything of the sort is called a "sockpuppet" account and is a violation of the iNaturalist Community Guidelines. Asking someone to agree to your identifications without being able to back up their identifications is also a violation.
Using a sockpuppet account will result in your account being suspended for one week, and the sockpuppet account being suspended indefinitely. Content created by the sockpuppet account will be removed after a week, pending appeal.
