## How does voting work?

See the Indigo [DAO Voting Procedures document](https://forum.indigoprotocol.io/uploads/short-url/iYdEJXNHMCIIfRrV8roqHTtG87G.pdf), that was ratified by the community in our Governance Forum.

## How do I vote on-chain?

In order to vote, you first need to have some INDY. Those INDY will then need to be staked in the protocol. Your voting power is set to the total amount of INDY staked at the time of voting, for example if you had staked 10 INDY and then voted on a proposal, those 10 INDY will correspond as your voting power.

After voting on a proposal, your staked INDY are locked until that proposal's Voting Period has concluded.

Let's go over a few scenarios.

**Scenario 1**

* Violet stakes 10 INDY.
* Violet votes on Proposal A, which ends on January 2, 2022 at 10:00 pm UTC.
* Violet's 10 INDY are locked until the Proposal A ends.
* Violet votes on another, say Proposal B, which ends on January 4, 2022 at 10:00 pm UTC.
* Violet's 10 INDY are locked until Proposal B ends.

**Scenario 2**

* Violet stakes 10 INDY.
* Violet votes on Proposal A, which ends on January 2, 2022 at 10:00 pm UTC.
* Violet's 10 INDY are locked until the Proposal A ends.
* Violet's stakes 20 INDY. Violet can unstake her 20 INDY at anytime.
* Violet votes on another, say Proposal B, which ends on January 4, 2022 at 10:00 pm UTC.
* Violet's 30 INDY are locked until Proposal B ends.

## How do I change my vote?

Votes cannot be changed. We may offer this option in a future release of the protocol.

## What is the cost of submitting a proposal on-chain?

DAO members that wish to submit on-chain proposals will need to deposit 100 INDY. This deposit will be returned to the proposal owner if the proposal successfully passes; if not, the deposit will be sent to the DAO Treasury.
