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 friends chat, 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. Some players also wear this hat as it resembles a santa hat.

Logging in wearing the Voting hat with spiky hair causes the hair to go through the hat.
Trivia
- The Red Voting hat has been used as a substitute to the much more expensive Santa hat by free players to match the Santa suit. The Fez has also been used to emulate the look.
- The hat can only be sold back to Faruq in the red form. If it is blue, the player must turn it inside out.
