Ideally, yea.
Maybe if they hadn't attached the voting to the rewards. Like if they awarded the outfit (red only) for accepting the quest and listening to everyone's proposals, and having a completely "optional" quest afterwords that only awards chocolates regardless of who you vote for.

If the intent was to test the actual story with as little cosmetic bias as possible, making it dyable wasn't enough. I think they should have put more thought into other things that might influence choices (not all players are going going to realize or care that they can dye their pieces - even the item names almost swayed me since they're something I can never change).

Hopefully next year's event will go better. For those we can yet save.
