How to make "optional but required" for workflow participants

I am using Windchill ProjectLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.9

I'm developing a new route process. In this process there is a special role which
1. This role is optional, we don't need to assign people to this role every time.
2. When peoples assigned to this role, all people have to vote their result, otherwise, the workflow should not be transaction to next stage.
Here is my problem,
In Workflow Template Administrator
If I set "All" for "Required" option for this role, I have to set someone to role when creating a new route, but this role is not mandatory every time
If I do not set this role as "Required", then new route can be create, but the next activity starts before collecting the voting result by all participants.

I have an idea to count the number of user votes, only allow next activity start when all participants voted. Is this possible ?
Is there any other possible solution to meet my requirements ?

Try setting these options as shown:

This should allow the task to get ignored if there's no users assigned to it
